Locally: FRIs “starved quasar”: quasar” faint optical nuclear emission (Chiaberge et al. 1999, Leiptzki et al. 2009, Baldi et al. 2010) Host galaxy: mainly giant elliptical (c. D) with the most massive BHs (Donzelli et al. 2007, Zirbel & Baum 1997) ~70% of them in rich clusters, at variance with FRIIs (Hill & Lilly 1991; Zirbel 1997; Wing & Blanton 2011) At high redshift: Two FRIs at z~1 (Snellen & Best 2001) ~30 FRI candidates at z~1 -2 (Chiaberge+09)

Poisson Probabiliy Method (PPM) Castignani et al. , in prep Existing methods seem to be less efficient at z>~1. 5 (only 9 spectroscopically confirmed z>~1. 5 clusters, see Tozzi et al. 2013) Methods based on photo-z and number counts (Scoville+2013 and ref. therein) affected by: 1) low number counts 2) increasing photo-z uncertainties 3) photo-z catastrophic failure at z~1. 5 (redshift desert)
