The unprecedented resolution and sensitivity provided by ALMA have opened up a new era in the study of massive early-type galaxies (ETGs) at low redshifts (z<0.1), enabling us to resolve the key scales over which the feeding and energetic output of their central super-massive black holes (SMBHs) operate, and thus uncovering a number of physical phenomena (e.g. nuclear bars, massive cold gas inflows/outflows). At the same time, dynamical studies of spatially-resolved molecular gas at the centre of ETGs are enabling very accurate determinations of a key intrinsic SMBH parameter, that is its mass, thus revolutionising the study of SMBH-host galaxy co-evolutionary processes. In this talk, I will present the results obtained by analysing the kin...
