{Ριζούπολη}. Ioannis Rizopoulos {Ιωάννης Ριζόπουλος}, was born in the town of Pirgos {Πύργος} of the Ilia {Ηλεία} prefecture, in 1885. He arrived impecunious in Athens in 1902, but following hard work and perseverence, and having the gift of a genius, he created a fortune. He invested his money by creating the homonymous district of "Rizopolis" {Ριζόπολις} [The Tower Of Rizoupolis]. It is worth mentioning that this district is one of the first in Athens which were electrified.
