Biography

Luigi Arrigoni was born on 2 June 1890 in Morimondo, in Milan Italy. He was ordained a priest on 18 January 1922.[1]

He joined the diplomatic service of the Holy See, where his early assignments included postings i. Austria, Romania, and Belgium, which he left when the Nazis invaded. In December 1942, he played the role of courier, delivering messages too important to entrust to normal delivery services to the nunciatures in Bulgaria and Romania.[2]

On 31 May 1946, Pope Pius XII appointed him titular archbishop of Apamea in Syria and Apostolic Nuncio to Peru.[3]

He received his episcopal consecration from Cardinal Clemente Micara[4] on 28 July 1946.

Arrigoni died in Lima on 6 July 1948 at the age of 58.[1][5]
