In the early 1970's, residents of Italian Village took action against the deteriorating physical condition of the area, and the threat of having more and more historic buildings demolished. Residents and proprty owners who felt a sense of community and had visions of an improved neighborhood, formed the Italian Village Society in 1972. One year later, the Italian Village Commission was established by Columbus City Council.
In 1986, the entire Short North Area (Italian Village, Victorian Village, and the High Street Commercial District) was awarded an "All American City" designation for its public-private partnership in the revitalization of the area.
Several sections of Italian Village were recently listed on the National Register of Historic places, and yet another section is currently being considered for listing.
