Viganò was born in
La Scala ballet school in Milan. He is considered the father of a new kind of performance called "coreodramma [ru
]" where the pantomime served the dance and the ensembles were very significant. He died in Milan.
Viganò's elder sister, Vincenza Viganò-Mombelli was also a dancer and the librettist of Rossini's first opera Demetrio e Polibio.[2]
