Abstract
Although a strong similarity between radio galaxies and Seyferts has been p ointed 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 o bservations 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 li ne 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.
