Carlo Vigarani (c. 1623 – 17 February 1713)[1] was an Italian scenic designer who worked as ingénieur du roi ("royal engineer") and then intendant des plaisirs du roi ("intendant to the King's pleasures") at the court of the French king Louis XIV until 1690. He was born in Reggio di Lombardia and went to Paris with his father Gaspare Vigarani in 1659.[1] He is best known for his design with his father and his brother Lodovico of the Salle des Machines at the Tuileries Palace in Paris.[1] He returned to Paris in 1662, was naturalized French in 1673, and probably died in Paris.[1]
