Bernardo Semadeni was a Swiss emigrant from the Canton of Graubünden who founded a successful confectionary business in Kiev in the 1870s, which comprised several shops as well as a chocolate factory. Cafe Semadeni on Khreshchatik, located opposite the City Duma and the Exchange, was particularly popular among the new merchant elite and is mentioned in many travel guides from the early 20th century.
