Life
Pompeio Arrigoni studied civil and canon law and initially worked as a lawyer in the service of the Spanish King Philip II , before Pope Gregory XIII. 1584 brought back to Rome. In 1590 he became an auditor at the Roman Rota . Under Pope Clement VIII he became one of the most influential figures in the Curia.
In the consistory of June 5, 1596 , Clement VIII accepted him as cardinal deacon of Santa Maria in Aquiro to the college of cardinals . In January 1597 he appointed him cardinal priest of Santa Balbina all'Aventino . In 1598, Cardinal Arrigoni, who was active in the Holy Office , traveled to Ferrara on papal orders when the city was transferred to the Holy See. In the following year he became a member of the commission that should dissolve the marriage of King Henry IV of France with Marguerite de Valois. After the death of Clement VIII in 1605, he took part in the conclave that Leo XI. elected to succeed. He called him his Datarius during his short pontificate . In the conclave that followed, Cardinal Arrigoni was the opponent of the then elected Paul V , who nevertheless confirmed him as Datarius. In 1607, however, he fell out of favor with Paul V and was appointed Archbishop of Benevento. The Pope personally donated his episcopal ordination on February 24th of the same year; Co-consecrators were the cardinals Ludovico de Torres and Marcello Lante della Rovere . In June 1611 he convened a tribunal in Benevento , which dealt with the work and positions of Galileo Galilei . Cardinal Arrigoni died in 1616 and was buried in the Cathedral of Benevento.
