Notice that “I have” (ho) has not been used because you will not use “have” when you are talking about your comings and goings.

Let’s just check this again to make sure you have fully understood.

What is “I am” in Italian?

Sono

(son-oh)

And what is the word you have learnt for “arrived”?

arrivato

(a-reev-art-oh)

How would you say “I arrived”?

Sono arrivato.

(son-oh a-reev-art-oh)

How about “I did arrive”?

Sono arrivato.

(son-oh a-reev-art-oh)

And “I have arrived”?

Sono arrivato.

(son-oh a-reev-art-oh)

Just as before, these are all the same in Italian, the only difference is that because arriving is a type of coming and going, you’re not allowed to use “have” with it.

Also before I forget, I should mention that there’s something else to be aware of, something which affects words such as “arrived” in Italian. This is something that I like to call “The Mario-Maria Rule”.
