  Joannis Capodistrias Biography
Capodistria was educated at Padua in Italy and inherited the Venetian title Count Capo d'Istria from his father, Antonio.
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.
