From 1724, Ferrandini was involved in the execution of the ceiling paintings in the abbey church of Schöntal Abbey under the direction of Luca Antonio Colomba and in 1735/36, again under the direction of Colomba, together with Georg Christoph Grooth in the painting of the small comedy house in Ludwigsburg Castle (the latter through later work replaced). In 1739/40 he received payment from the Duke of Württemberg for the production of altarpieces for the Catholic court chapel in Stuttgart . In 1745 he designed the ceiling painting depicting the triumph of the church in the new convent building of the Schöntal monastery , framed by allegories of the four seasons. Ferrandini's paintings of the Catholic parish church of St. Martinus in Sontheim (after 1748, nave replaced by a new building in 1904) and the Mauritius church in Güglingen (after 1752, destroyed by a city fire in 1849) have been lost. Ferrandini's paintings in the choir vault of the Catholic parish church of St. Martinus in Erlenbach were destroyed by the Second World War, while the fresco showing the Assumption of Mary after 1753 in the nave vault of this church was preserved.
