  The Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 7674 has been observed within the BeppoSAX Core
Programme with the onboard narrow field instruments between 0.1 and 100 keV.
The broad-band spectrum shows four most relevant spectral components: a) a soft
excess below ~2 keV; b) a prominent (EW~1 keV) Fe line; c) a flat (Gamma~1.1)
2-10 keV continuum; d) a 4.5sigma detection above 13 keV. The flat power law
spectrum can be very well explained within the current AGN unified models
assuming a steep (Gamma~2) intrinsic spectrum scattered by warm gas for the low
energy band and totally reflected by optically thick cold matter (plausibly a
molecular torus) for the high energy band. The case of NGC 7674 adds to the
increasing number of so called "Compton-thick" Seyfert 2 galaxies in which the
direct emission is totally absorbed and the X-ray luminosity is thus at least
one or two orders of magnitude larger than what inferred from the observed
flux.
