Ioannis Genovellis (Preveza, circa 1760-, Vonitsa) was a governor, a member of Filiki Eteria, a military man and a politician, who in 1825 was elected as the first prefect of Athens.[1] He excelled both in the military and in politics as he showed great patriotism and bravery. He was appointed as a major general and a senator. Apart from his political talents, Genovellis was linguistically cultivated having heeded the teachings of priest Dionysus of Akarnana. He did not have any children and lived as a pensioner in Vonitsa. He most likely died in 1841 at an age of over 80 years old.[2] From 1843 onwards, his widowed wife received a monthly pension of 30 drachmae.[3]
