Rai Radio 3 Classica (formerly FD Auditorium, Rai Radio FD5 , Rai Radio 5 Classica and most recently Rai Radio Classica ) is an advertising-free station of Radiotelevisione Italiana that broadcasts classical music. The station was launched on January 4, 1959 as an additional program for the Filodiffusione wire radio system developed in 1958 by Rai and the then Italian telephone company Società Idroelettrica Piemontese (now Telecom Italia ) and can now be received via satellite, DAB and DVB-T in addition to wire radio.

In contrast to its sister station Rai Radio Tutta Italiana , Rai Radio 3 Classica is broadcast in the cities of Rome (100.3 MHz), Turin (101.8 MHz), Milan (102.2 MHz), Naples (103.9 MHz) and Ancona (106 , 0 MHz) also broadcast via VHF. Rai Radio 3 Classica will also be taken over by Rai Radio 3 at certain times until September 2017 (mainly from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.). From September 2017 Rai Radio 3 initiated its own night program.

In the early 1990s, the range was expanded to include original recordings from the Rai archive. Before that, only re-broadcasts from international discographic catalogs were broadcast.
