Fokionos Negri… stories from the 1950s and beyond. Unique, remarkable, and ahead of their time. Today, we stroll along this iconic Athenian avenue and uncover the story of the man who gave it his name – Fokion Negris.
Born in Constantinople, Negris was a mining engineer and geologist who became the first president of the Academy of Athens and later rose to the position of Minister of Finance, where he pursued a socially oriented, pro-labour policy.
