biography

Born in the USA , he moved to Italy , the land of his ancestors, in the mid-1940s to open a studio in Rome on Via Veneto .

In 1949 he was invited to Paris by Christian Dior and appointed to a stylistic collaboration with the French fashion house. In 1952 Ferdinandi took part in the first historical fashion show at Palazzo Pitti in Florence with Sartoria Antonelli, Atelier Carosa, Roberto Capucci, Giovanelli Sciarra, Germana Marucelli, Polinober, Sartoria Vanna and Jole Veneziani .

In 1953 he helped found the SIAM - Syndicato Italiano Alta Moda (later the National Chamber of Italian Fashion) together with other great studios of the time . In July 1954 he took part in the "Alta Moda in Castel Sant'Angelo" in the impressive ambience of the famous castle together with Sorelle Fontana, Emilio Schuberth, Giovannelli Sciarra, Garnett and Mingolini-Guggenheim.

He is the first to show Dolores Francine Rhiney, a color model on a catwalk that calls into question the conventions of the 1950s. His creations are worn by actresses and models of those years. Jennifer Jones , Sandra Dee , Virna Lisi , Sylva Koscina , Isabella Albonico, Eloisa Cianni , Lucia Bosè , Lilli Cerasoli , Loredana Pavone, Ivy Nicholson, Anna Maria Ghislanzoni, Marta Marzotto and a very young Elsa Martinelli are some of them.

In 2014 the Maxxi Museum in Rome showed him as one of the pioneers of Italian fashion as part of the Bellissima exhibition .
