Greek politician and diplomat. He served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia and first Governor of the independent Greek State, which he founded from the foundation and with his personal fortune.

He was born in Corfu on February 11, 1776. He studied medicine, philosophy and law at the University of Patavia (Padova), Italy. In 1797 he settled in Corfu and practiced the profession of doctor - surgeon. Two years later, when Russia and Turkey briefly occupied the Ionian Islands, he was entrusted with the command of the military hospital. In 1801 the Ionian Islands became autonomous and Ioannis Kapodistrias became one of the two governors of the Ionian State, at the age of 25. Thanks to his political acumen and persuasion, he prevented the uprising of Kefalonia, which would have unforeseen consequences for the cohesion of the newly created state
The result of Kapodistrias' efforts was the adoption of a more liberal and democratic constitution in 1803. The great powers were alarmed and sent Georgios Motsenigos to rebuke him. When, however, their representative met with him, he was impressed by the man's political and moral views. Kapodistrias was unanimously appointed by the Senate of the Ionian State, Secretary of State. During his tenure he reorganized the public administration, placing particular emphasis on education. In March 1807 he was sent to Lefkada, which was threatened with occupation by Ali Pasha. He reorganized the defense of the island, averting the threat.
