Asolo is a town in the Veneto Region of Northern Italy. It is known as 'The Pearl of province of Treviso', and also as 'The City of a Hundred Horizons'. The town has a spectacular mountain setting, and is rich in history, being mentioned, as Acelum in the works of Pliny; there are remains of an amphitheatre. Most famously, Asolo was the capital, and seat of the court, of the fiefdom of Asolo, which was granted by Venice, to which it belonged, for lifetime to Caterina Cornaro, the former Queen of Cyprus, from 1489 to 1509, when the League of Cambrai conquered and ransacked Asolo (Caterina fled to exile and died there a year later). Under her reign, Asolo became a center of the muses, and, for instance, the painter Gentile Bellini and the humanist Cardinal Pietro Bembo were part of the court.
