I spent June and July in the scenic town of Asolo, Italy taking international business classes.  I studied finance, logistics, marketing, and management under American teachers in a very relaxed setting. I made many new friends in Asolo and enjoyed one of my best travel experiences ever. Asolo is full of great people, food, history, and culture. I spent many hours eating pizza at Giovanni's, savoring Nutella ice cream, and hanging out at Epoca. We only had classes 4 days per week so every weekend was typically spent traveling. I also took several tours of nearby businesses including a winery, pasta factory, and lawn mower manufacturer.
