He was born in Livorno. His grandfather's brother was the Patriarch of Armenian Catholics of Constantinopole.[2] Before World War II, Nurigiani resided in Sofia (Bulgaria), where he learned about the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization and he started to support their ideals. He wrote a couple of books and studies on Macedonian matters.[3] In 1967 he collaborated with the Macedonian linguist Naum Kitanovski and they published an Italian – Macedonian dictionary.
