SUMMARY
A prominent family of the Greek diaspora, coming from Epirus – possibly of ‘Koutsouvlachoi’ origins. Members of the Pappoudof family settled in the largest ports of Southern Russia (Odessa, Taganrog, Rostov) but also in the most important ports of the western Mediterranean (Livorno, Marseilles). They were bound to other important families of the diaspora (Rodokanakis, Sevastopoulos) by intermarriage and business. They also played a significant role in the grain trade, mainly that of Odessa. To a limited extent, they were also active in other sectors, such as ship ownership and retail, whilst even more important was their presence in banking. |
