Roberto Ferri (born 1978) is an artist and painter from Taranto, Italy, deeply inspired by Baroque painters—Caravaggio, in particular—and other great masters of Romanticism, the Academy and Symbolism.
In 1996, he graduated from the Liceo Artistico Lisippo Taranto, a local art school in his hometown. He began studying painting on his own and moved to Rome in 1999, to deepen his research on ancient painting, beginning in the late 16th century in particular. In 2006, he graduated with honors at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome.
His work is represented in important private collections in Rome, Milan, London, Paris, New York, Madrid, Barcelona, Miami, San Antonio (Texas), Qatar, Dublin, Boston, Malta and Menerbes Castle in Provence. His work was presented at the controversial Italian pavilion of the Venice Biennale 2011, and he has exhibited at the Palazzo Cini, in Venice, at the Kitsch Biennial 2010.
