Young Italian businessman finds home away from home in China

"Changsha is a great city," said Bottiglieri, addingit has good infrastructure and the local government is supportive.

Bottiglieri likes the uniqueness of the city that combines Chinese culture with an Italian style town, where he has met many Italians - a home away from home. He has also embraced Chinese culture and language, passing level 2 of the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK), a standardized test of Chinese language proficiency for nonnative Chinese speakers.

Based in Changsha, his company is seeking greater development around China. During his travels across the country, Bottiglieri enjoys visiting local rural and urban areas to observe every aspect of China and learn how to do business in China.
