Centro trasmittente di Monte Serra, Radio and television transmitter station on Monte Serra, Italy

The transmission center on Monte Serra is a radio and television broadcasting station located at approximately 900 meters elevation in Tuscany. The facility features multiple antenna towers that distribute signals across a wide area of Tuscany and beyond.

The station began transmitting on January 3, 1954, as part of Italy's initial broadcasting infrastructure network stretching from Turin to Rome. It served as a crucial relay point connecting northern and central regions through radio and television signals.

On 21 February 1954 the station carried the Viareggio Carnival live, the first national TV broadcast from outside a RAI studio. Its FM radio service began on 8 November 1982, and since 1 September 2025 the RAI radio channels have gone out in DAB+ on frequency 10C.

The site sits at 917 m on the summit ridge of the Monti Pisani, on the border between Capannori (Lucca) and Calci (Pisa); the transmitters occupy the peak and neighbouring hills, so the antennas are seen from outside rather than visited. Signals reach Elba and exposed spots on Corsica.

On 21 February 1954 Monte Serra carried Italy's first live television broadcast from outside a RAI studio, relaying the Viareggio Carnival. The station also beamed AFN TV on channel 67 in NTSC to the nearby US base of Camp Darby until 2007.
