A movie about the life of Count Ioannis Antionios Kapodistria (Κόμης Ιωάννης Αντώνιος Καποδίστριας) is being filmed in Corfu. Kapodistrias was a Greek diplomat of the Russian Empire, and later, first head of state of independent Greece. Spiros, a Greek man who works at our barn, is playing the lead role in the movie.
A couple of the scenes needed to have Kapodistrias riding a horse, since he was said to be a very skilled rider. In order to accomplish this, a film crew came out to the Silva Project and I spent the afternoon helping out with the horses and the filming!
