Descriptive card
He was active from 1534 to 1580, producing around eighty editions under the mark "al segno del Pozzo" (symbolized by a well), continuing the work of his father, Giorgio Arrivabene. His workshop was frequented by figures such as Pier Paolo Vergerio, attracting the attention of the Inquisition, which investigated him in 1549 and again in 1551-52. In the 1540s, Arrivabene became involved in pro-Protestant propaganda, supplying heterodox books to individuals linked to heretical groups. He maintained ties with the Accademia degli Argonauti and several heretics, passing away in 1570.
