URI Serie 562/2 vintage radio

The URI Serie 562/2 is a classic example of mid-20th-century Italian electronics. The name 'URI' stands for Unione Radiofonica Italiana, which was the primary broadcasting body in Italy (later becoming RAI) and also branded or commissioned specific radio receivers during the post-war era. This particular model features a design typical of the 1950s, characterized by its wooden cabinet, ornate woven speaker grille, and ivory-colored tuning knobs.

The tuning dial displays major Italian and European broadcasting cities such as Milano, Roma, Torino, and Caltanissetta, alongside technical terms like 'Modulazione di Frequenza' (Frequency Modulation) and 'Canali TV' (TV Channels), indicating it was an advanced set capable of receiving both early FM broadcasts and potentially audio feeds from nascent television channels. Domestic manufacturing of these units was centered around industrial hubs in northern Italy, likely Milan or Turin, where the company maintained its main operations and production facilities.
