Abstract
This paper describes a rigorous process started within the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) to review existing and future radio astronomical front-end receivers for the INAF radio telescopes. The main goal of the review was to increase the level of coordination in receiver development, improving at the same time the scientific impact from the national facilities. The working group in charge of the review collected information on the front-ends in operation and under development at the INAF radio telescopes and new ideas for future receivers from the Italian astronomical community. The outcome of the working group consists of recommendations on receivers under development and on strategies for future receivers at the suite of Italian radio telescopes.
