Giovanni Arrivabene
Giovanni Graf Arrivabene (also Jean Arrivabene; born June 24, 1787 in Mantua ; † January 11, 1881 ibid) was an Italian economist .
Life
Arrivabene was arrested as Carbonaro in 1820 as a result of a visit made by Silvio Pellico and taken to the prison in Murano near Venice . After his innocence was proven, he was released after seven months, but soon afterwards had to flee because of a financial support that he had given the rebellious Piedmontese and went to Switzerland and from there to France and England . Meanwhile, the Austrian government sequestered his property and sentenced him to death in absentia on January 21, 1824.
In London Arrivabene devoted himself to economic studies, as a result of which his work on the English charities ( Beneficenza della città di Londra, Lugano 1827-1832, 2 volumes) appeared. After Belgium moved (1827) and there nationalized (1840), he worked preferably with the condition of the working classes. With others he organized the economic congress in Brussels in 1846 , from which the Belgian Economic Society emerged, of which he became president. In 1860 he returned to Italy, where he, appointed senator and elected president by the Italian Economic Society in Florence , died in Mantua on January 12, 1881, very old. From 1867 to 1881 he was also President of the Accademia Nazionale Virgiliana .
