[2] In an interview with Biblioteche di Roma, in 2012, Ferri states that even though she has had a permanent and life-long love for literature, it was truly cinema that provided her most vivid and lasting memories of her childhood.
Subsequently, Ferri co-wrote the story and screenplay[4] for La stanza del figlio (The Son’s Room) directed by Nanni Moretti in 2001.
Additionally, in 2001, she co-wrote Luce dei mei Occhi (Light of my eyes) and La Vita che Vorrei (The Life I Want) directed by Giuseppe Piccioni in 2004.
Ferri’s second book, Il Tempo Che Resta (The Time That Remains), is an assortment of seven short stories on the theme of love.
It was born from what Ferri describes as “falling in love” stemming from emotions aroused by the baroque artist Stefano Maderno’s statue of Saint Cecilia in the Church of Saint-Cecilia in Rome.
