ALMA will be a complete astronomical imaging and spectroscopic instrument for the millimetre/submillimetre region, from 0.3 to 9.6 millimetres. ALMA with its unprecedented sensitivity and resolution will contribute to understand different aspects of the physics of AGN. Some examples: Imaging molecular material within a few pc of the BH in nearby AGN in order to resolve their nuclear molecular reservoir; Imaging the molecular gas in high redshift FIR luminous QSOs to determine the distribution of the gas and dust; Imaging nuclear dense gas in AGN to discriminate between possible nuclear star forming regions and the AGN itself; mm-VLBI observations of core-jets with angular resolution of about 20uas to test the jet formation models in radio galaxies; Search for flat spectrum mm-loud AGN, this could reveal new population of blazers, IDVs and other types of known sources at more than 10 times deeper levels that is currently possible; Ultradeep continuum survey to provide a link between different populations of galaxies detected at radio, optical and X-ray wavelengths and to generate a unified picture of galaxy evolution. Science interface between the ALMA project and the user communities will be conducted, in Europe, by the ALMA Regional Centre at ESO and, to provide additional services to the community, by a distributed network of ARC nodes. The specific tasks of the Italian ARC will be described.
