Italian architect, stage designer and decorator (1637-1713). Vigarani had several careers - he worked in Paris, notably with Lully, as director of the opera; in Saint-Germain-en-Laye where he staged major tragédies lyriques; and in Versailles where he helped organise magnificent court festivities. He was appointed King's Engineer in 1662, and supervised court entertainments for Louis XIV until 1690.
