Ferri's career began in a Milan nightclub in 1963. By 1965, she had successfully broke onto the Rome singing scene singing popular Roman songs. One of her biggest hits was "Sempre" (Always). During her career, she also performed Neapolitan and Latin American pieces. During the 1970s, she starred on several popular TV shows. By the 1990s, however, she had largely left the spotlight.
She died in Corchiano, Viterbo, Latium, Italy, in April 2004 after falling from a third-floor balcony in an apparent suicide, although family members denied such reports, saying she may have fallen ill after taking anti-depression medication and lost her balance.
