Soldi will be leaving her post on August 10.
RAI said in a statement that Soldi’s decision was due to personal and professional reasons and will be formalised at a board meeting next week.
Italy’s opposition parties have alleged a government takeover of RAI while the broadcaster’s internal union has said it has become the government’s mouthpiece.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has rejected the claims, saying the cabinet is “balancing” the broadcaster after years of alleged liberal hegemony.
