		Capodistria visited his Ionian Islands homeland, by then under British rule in 1818, and in 1819 he went to London to discuss the islanders' grievances with the British government, who told him that the islands were none of Russia's business.
		Capodistria retired to Geneva, where in 1827 he learned that the newly-assembled Greek National Assembly had elected him, as the most illustrious Greek-born politician in Europe, as the first head of state of the newly-proclaimed Greek Republic.
		Capodistria's aristocratic style and his tendency to favour his relatives and other Greeks from the Ionian Islands (which were still under British rule) and Phanariots (Greeks from Constantinople) for government positions soon made him unpopular.

		In 1803, when France under Napoléon Bonaparte conquered Venice, Capodistria was appointed Secretary of State of the Septinsular Republic, the French-controlled government of the Ionian Islands.
		When a rebellion led by the turbulent guerilla fighters from the Peloponnese broke out, he called in Russian troops to suppress it, which offended Greek patriotic sentiment.In 1831 Capodistria made the fatal mistake of imprisoning Petrobey Mavromichalis, the Bey of the Mani Peninsula, one of the wildest and most rebellious parts of Greece.
		This was a mortal offence to the Mavromichalis clan, and on Oct. 9 1831 (Sept. 27 in the Julian Calendar) Capodistria was assassinated by Petrobey's brother and nephew on the steps of the church of Saint Spyridon in Nafplio.

		Capodistria studied medicine at Padua in Italy and he belonged to an ancient Corfiot family which had immigrated from Istria in 1373.
		At the news of their chieftain's imprisonment the Mainots, who had for a while been pacified, once more flew to arms and threatened to march on Nafplio; but negotiations were opened, and on the advice of the Russian minister Petrobey consented to make his submission to the president.
		Capodistria is greatly honoured in Greece today, and the University of Athens is named "Capodistrian" to honour him.
