Vigarani, Gaspare (1586–1663), Italian stage designer and machinist, inventor of many new stage effects. He was working in Modena when in 1659 he was called to Paris to supervise the entertainments to be given in honour of Louis XIV's approaching marriage. For these he built the
Salle des Machines in the Tuileries, and designed its
stage machinery. As the
Petit-Bourbon theatre was then being demolished, Vigarani claimed the scenery and machinery for use in his new theatre and burnt it all, thus destroying the work of a rival. After his death his son
Carlo (?–
c.1693), who had been working with him, was responsible for the mechanics of
Les Plaisirs de l'île enchantée (1664), an entertainment given at Versailles with the collaboration of
Molière and Lully.
