Carlo Murena (July 16, 1713–May 7, 1764) was an Italian architect of the late-Baroque period active in Rome, Foligno, Perugia, and other towns in central Italy.
[1] Murena worked on a number of Vanvitelli's projects, including the campanile at the Basilica della Santa Casa on Loreto.
After Vanvitelli left for Naples in 1751, Murena took over completion of a number of his commissions, including Sant'Agostino, Rome and the Biblioteca Angelica.
This led to a commission to design the chapel decorations for the abbey church of the monastery of S. Maria in Campis at Foligno.
In Rome, Murena constructed the Zampai chapel and its funereal monuments, all found in Sant'Antonio dei Portoghesi.
