From there, he travelled on to Saint Petersburg, where he settled, receiving a pension from the Russian government. On 16 July 1840, the Ionian States, under British protection, confirmed his noble title of Count Kapodistrias. He died in 1857 in St. Petersburg, leaving no descendants.

The remains of Ioannis and Augustinos Kapodistrias and their father now rest in the Monastery of Our Lady of the Sign in Corfu.
