Robert Richiardi was born in St Marylebone, Middlesex, England.

Geographical Note and Social context: By the mid-18th century, St Marylebone had developed into a small village surrounded by pastoral fields with the adjacent pleasure-ground of Marylebone Gardens laid to the southeast. The third church building was built directly on the ground of its predecessor and opened in April 1742.
However, these modest premises soon proved too small to adequately support and serve its rapidly developing parish, which had grown from 577 houses in 1739 to 6200 houses by 1795. Thus, a fourth parish church was planned and executed in the 19th century.
After the building and consecration of the fourth parish church, the third church continued to serve its parish as a small chapel-of-ease . ^[1]
Marylebone became a fashionable place to live but also to visit. Before the redevelopment began, the bowling greens had been turned into pleasure gardens. They closed in the 1770s, by which time the gardens were hemmed in by other buildings.
During the late-18th century, the main street became the Marylebone High Street . Tradesmen included an apothecary, baker, goldbeater, hairdresser, shoemaker and watchmaker.
The Portland Estate leased pieces of land out on 99-year leases, on which builders of all types built according to plans approved by the Estate. Alongside buildings developed by private speculators were others built for the public good, like the workhouse and schools and a police station that was opened in 1821.
As well as the rich and fashionable, the Marylebone parish had its share of poverty, homelessness and associated problems. Following its demise, the Marylebone Gardens area degenerated into slums, home to the poorest and most helpless, attracting beggars and criminals. Victorian reformers such as Octavia Hill and Lady Howard de Walden began to redevelop the houses around Grotto Passage and Paradise Street from the 1860s onwards with what was effectively social housing. A ragged school for poor children was built in 1846 and clubs for poor and homeless opened.^[2]
