Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil.
In a small mixing bowl, combine butter, olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning and 1/4 cup of the grated fresh Parmesan cheese.
Use a sharp, serrated knife to cut 1 and 1/2 inch thick slices of bread, not cutting all the way through to the bottom of the loaf. You should be able to pick up the full loaf of bread with the slices not cut through to the bottom. Place loaf on foil-lined baking sheet.
Reserve 1 Tablespoon of prepared garlic butter and with the remaining garlic butter, butter each side of the pre-sliced bread.
Place one to two slices of sliced mozzarella cheese between each slice of bread.
Use a pastry brush to brush the remaining garlic butter all over the top of the loaf.
Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Cook in 375°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
