Vigano, Salvatore
Born: March 25, 1769 in Naples
Died August 10, 1821. Milan, Italy. Dancer and choreographer. Born into a family of dancers, he was the nephew of composer L. Boccherini. He made his debut in Rome playing a female role. Influenced by J. de Berval, he promoted the Ballet D'Accion and toured Europe with his wife M. Medina. He served as ballet master at La Scala in Milan from 1813 to 1821. He made a great contribution to the Italian ballet world by integrating expressive mime dance based on the personalities of the characters, replacing mime performed alongside dancing, and by introducing dramatic use of group dance. His students included C. Blasis. It is well known that Beethoven composed "The Creatures of Prometheus" (1801) for him.
