Career
[edit]After playing at AlbinoLeffe, from 2000 to 2005, he went on loan to Livorno, exchange with Paolo Ginestra then, in the Serie A, before returning to AlbinoLeffe at the end of the 2005–06 Serie A season.

In January 2008, he left AlbinoLeffe, for Triestina, to replace the left of Generoso Rossi who went to Catania in Serie A on loan as the third choice goal keeper.
In mid-2008 Acerbis joined Serie B side Grosseto, from Triestina. In Tuscany, Acerbis was the starting goalkeeper for the first part of the year before his January 2009 transfer to Catania.
On 3 January 2009 Acerbis signed for Serie A club Catania on loan, with Ciro Polito going to opposite direction.[1] Both clubs would have the option to make the deals permanent at the end of the season. Acerbis became the third choice keeper at Catania behind veteran Albano Bizarri, and twenty-two-year-old Tomáš Košický.
On 31 August 2010 Acerbis was signed by Vicenza on a 2-year contract for €50,000 transfer fee.[2] He was the backup keeper for Alberto Frison, Danilo Russo (2010–11) and Carlo Pinsoglio (2012).
