Siège Rai de Bolzane

The Rai building in Bolzano is the headquarters of a regional broadcasting operation that functions as a branch of the national Rai 3 network. The facility uses multiple transmission methods including digital terrestrial television, satellite, cable, and internet to distribute its programs across the South Tyrol region.

The building was established in 1928 and initially broadcast only in Italian before adding German language programming in 1960. This expansion reflected the growing need for multilingual coverage in a region with a mixed population.

The broadcasting center produces and airs programs in three languages: Italian, German, and Ladin. This reflects the everyday linguistic diversity of the region.

The building is a workplace for staff and not a public attraction, so visiting in person is typically not possible. Information about the broadcasts can easily be accessed through the station's television, radio, and online channels.

In 1988 the building was attacked by separatist groups, causing substantial damage. After the attack it underwent complete renovation and was rebuilt.
