March 31, 2026 (Fallbrook) -- Contemporary American artist Jerome Gastaldi on March 20 lost his primary studio in Fallbrook, as well as more than 50 years of his own art and collected pieces of other artists' works in a sudden fire at his studio property, Villa con Cuore.
The fire at the 2500 block of Los Alisos S. Drive destroyed Gastaldi's paint studio, welding and print studios, library, gallery storage and a lifetime of collected works — many exhibited publicly over the years.
