Life
Ferrini graduated from the University of Pisa in foreign languages (Lingue e Letterature straniere); Then he founded the film club "Charlie Chaplin" and the film magazine "Giovane Cinema" with his boyfriend Enzo Ungari (* July 13, 1948, † February 22, 1985). Over the years he switched to larger periodicals and in 1971 edited a special edition of "Bianco e Nero", which was dedicated to Sergio Leone .
The active entry into the film business was formed by some engagements as an actor at the beginning of the 1970s and two scripts that were written in that decade. He devoted himself entirely to such authorship in 1980 and wrote numerous successful films, including some horror films directed by his frequent partners Michele Soavi and Dario Argento ; He also wrote several times for Maurizio Ponzi - in other genres. In 1986 he directed his only film, the ambitious thriller Caramalle di uno sconosciuto .
