Abstract

Although a strong similarity between radio galaxies and Seyferts has been pointed out with ASCA, some radio galaxies do not seem to fit very well the cold thin accretion disk model proposed for radio quiet AGN. The BeppoSAX observations of 3C390.3 and Centaurus A show that cold material responsible for the photon reprocessing is present in these sources but not necessarily near to the primary X-ray source. The featureless spectrum of the broad line radio galaxy 3C111 indicates the absence of cold material near the X-ray source or, alternatively, the presence of a strong jet X-ray component.
