ANTONIO ANDREA ARRIGHI DICKINSON COLLEGE CLASS OF 1865 Born 25 September 1837, Florence, Italy  Died circa 1920, New York, New York.

Antonio Arrighi led a remarkable life, accomplishing and enduring more life experiences before entering Dickinson than most people encounter in a lifetime.  He survived years of torture and abuse as a slave in his native Italy.  Arrighi came to America in 1860, and within a few months of his arrival, he enlisted in the Union Army.  He served his new "adopted country" briefly, seeing action in the American Civil War.  As he had studied in Italy after gaining his freedom, he enrolled in a Masters Program at Ohio Wesleyan College.  He studied at this institution for two years, attaining his Master of the Arts Degree, presumably in Theological Studies.  It was at this time that Arrighi came to Dickinson College, remaining at the College until 1865. He withdrew from Dickinson during his senior year due to an illness that had plagued him since his days at Ohio Wesleyan.  Eventually, Arrighi would return to school, however he was now enrolled at the Boston School of Theology.  He graduated in 1869 as an ordained minister in the protestant church.  Over the next forty years, Arrighi worked as a Missionary, in both his native Italy as well as his adopted home of New York, New York.  In 1911, Arrighi wrote and published an autobiographical account of his life's work and tribulations.  Entitled The Story of Antonio: The Galley Slave, the work is available in the Dickinson College Library Archives.  The personal enscription finds Arrighi referring to Dickinson College as his alma mater.
