An important theorem of J. Nash from 1956 states that every Riemannian manifold can be embedded isometrically into some Euclidean space \(E^n\). The following main theorem of this note is the affirmative answer on the question by Paolo Piccione posed to the author. If \((M,g)\) is a complete \(n\)-dimensional Riemannian manifold, then there is a closed isometric \(C^{\infty}\)-embedding of \((M,g)\) into \( E^{N+1}\), where \( N:=\frac{1}{2}n(n+1)(3n+1)\).
