Italy
One of the oldest neighborhoods remaining in the Cincinnati area, with many charming houses dating from the early to mid 1800s. Because it was built on a bluff and less flood prone than many other places around the river, there are lots of stately old mansions with a blend of Antebellum South and ea
rly Mid-Atlantic style architecture. This area is known to house the birthplace of Boy Scouts of America founder ''Daniel Carter Beard'' (which there is a small memorial to, though the house is a private residence). Its also great for an afternoon stroll along the river with ''George Rogers Clark Park'' being a popular spot for weddings.
