Fabrizio Gerbino moved to Stowe from Florence, Italy, three years ago with his American wife, Cynthia, and son Gabriele. The artist has been attracting attention here after being juried into the 95th and 96th Annual Exhibitions of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh.

He was invited to exhibit in the "Pittsburgh's Best" exhibition of last summer's Three Rivers Arts Festival. And his solo exhibition, "Tria Prima," is at the 5151 Penn gallery in Garfield through Dec. 29.

The solo exhibition showcases Mr. Gerbino's exacting and engaging paintings, which are mostly hung on an intimate level with the viewer. One wall, however, displays "portal" paintings -- inspired by the burned facade of a church in Florence that Gerbino witnessed a decade ago.

This presentation explores Mr. Gerbino's work and his move to the Pittsburgh area.
