Ciardi attempted to emulate the Italian artists she admired, Francesco Guardi and Giovanni Canaletto. Her work was acclaimed during her lifetime she was made an Honorary Academician at the Royal Academies of Art in Venice and Milan, and won medals at international exhibitions. Over twenty years earlier, Ciardi had shown eighty paintings at the Leicester Galleries in London. Her exhibition there featured London cityscapes, including Oxford Street, From Waterloo Bridge and Nelson's Column. Also on show were her paintings of Venice. La Regatta Vicino a! Rialto, Venezia, a sweeping view of gondolas crowding the waterway, was bought by Mary Davis and her husband. The Davises were also the first owners of Ciardi's work, Diaphanous Day 1924, a painting of Venice.Diaphanous Day had been exhibited at Ciardi's 1928 exhibition at the Fine Art Society exhibition, "Paintings Fantastic and Venetian Subjects". Fantastic subjects referred to the genre paintings Ciardi also had became known for, with titles such as Le Jardin d'amour and le Rendez-Vous. Her paintings often depicted Italian ornamental gardens, including the Villa d'Este and the Villa Borghese, inhabited by elegant figures in eighteenth century costume.
