Carlo Vigarani was an Italian scenic designer who worked as "ingénieur du roi" and then "intendant des plaisirs du roi" at the court of the French king Louis XIV until 1690. He was born in Reggio nell'Emilia and went to Paris with his father Gaspare Vigarani in 1659. 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. He returned to Paris in 1662, became a French citizen in 1673, and probably died in Paris.
