We present the first results of BeppoSAX observations of a small sample of low brightness FRI radio galaxies. The flux of all the targets is consistent with a thermal spectrum, as due to the presence of hot intracluster gas or galactic corona. Moreover in three sources a non thermal absorbed spectrum can be present in the MECS spectrum at energies larger than 7 keV, while for a fourth object a high energy flux has been detected in the PDS instrument at energies larger than 15 keV. This component could be related to the inner AGN surrounded by an obscuring torus.
