In 2017 he and his wife Geraldina Polverelli opened three new studios to Williamsburg (Brooklyn), the new heartbeat of New York creativity.

As a composer, Ferri's scores include: Anima, opera contemporary in concert form, premiered at the San Carlo in Naples in 2010 with photographic set design from he conceived; part of the music and the subject of Piano Upstairs, a prose and dance performance premiered at Festival dei Due Mondi in 2013; the songs from Passage, a short film presented out of competition to Venice in 2013, and performed live from Roberto Bolle and Polina Semionova during the Bolle and Friends Gala in 2014.
