History
1862: Italian flutist Cesare Ciardi begins leading flute classes
In 1853, the Italian flutist Cesare Chiardi came to the Russian Empire, where he remained until the end of his days. He worked in St. Petersburg as the first flutist of the orchestra of the Italian Opera, and for many years he was a soloist of the orchestra of the Imperial Theater (his colleagues in the group were Ernesto Köhler and Karl Wehner). He gave flute lessons in noble families, taught in music classes at the Theater School.
When the St. Petersburg Conservatory was opened in 1862, Chiardi began to teach a flute class there. P.I. Tchaikovsky took flute lessons from him and sometimes accompanied Chiardi at concerts as a pianist.
He died in St. Petersburg in 1877. He was buried in the plot of St. Michael of the Vyborg Catholic cemetery.
