Ferrari was born in Milan in 1971 and grew up surrounded by art and culture. His father was a painter and his mother was a sculptor, so it's no surprise that he developed an interest in the visual arts at an early age. He began taking photographs as a teenager, experimenting with different techniques and styles.
Ferrari studied photography at the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera in Milan, where he graduated with honors in 1995.
