Luigi Arduino was the son of the botanist and farmer Pietro Arduino († 1805) and a nephew of the geologist Giovanni Arduino . Both father and uncle were great scientists. The father was also a teacher at the University of Padua , which Luigi also attended.

Arduino later followed his father to the university as a professor of agriculture and received the directorate of the agricultural garden.

Arduino translated into Italian and wrote many essays.

In 1810 Napoleon Bonaparte set a price on whether and how sugar could be obtained in other ways than sugar cane . In his two-volume work De l'extraction du sucre de la plante nommé holcus-cafer , Arduino presented a process with which sugar is extracted from corn, among other things, and is cheaper to manufacture than from sugar cane, but is of the same quality.
