Beschrijving
Ioannis Kapodistrias portrays the Greek statesman who served as Foreign Minister of the Russian Empire and was one of the most distinguished diplomats of Europe. He was elected the first head of state of independent Greece (1827–1831) and is considered a founder of the modern Greek state. The statue is by Michael Tobros and was placed in Kapodistrias Square in 1932. He stands in formal dress, leaning lightly on a tree trunk. Born in Corfu in 1776 to a noble family, he studied medicine in Italy before turning to politics.
