Ioannis Dompolis (Greek: Ιωαννης Δομπολης). (Born 1769, Epirus - Died 1850, Russia): National Benefactor.
Dompolis migrated to Russia where he created his wealth. He was a personal friend of Ioannis Kapodistrias and returned with him in Greece. After Kapodistrias' assasination, he returned to Russia.
In his will, to honor his friend, he left all his wealth to the Greek Nation, under the proviso to establish a University in Greece, to be known as Kapodistriako.
