Club career

Salernitana, respectively.[1]
Ferrante is most famous for the eight years he spent with
Derby della mole return leg, against local rivals and eventual champions Juventus FC, celebrating the goal by mimicking "Bull-horns" with his hands (the bull is the symbol of the Torino side, as it is the city's coat of arms; the club is also known in its contracted form as "Toro", which means bull in Italian). Juventus midfielder Enzo Maresca attracted controversy later in the match when he imitated Ferrante's celebration following his late equaliser, as the match ended 2–2.[3] He remained with the club in 2004, after scoring 114 goals for the club over 235 league matches in Serie A and Serie B.[1]
He moved to
Serie C1 at the end of the season. As of the conclusion of the 2005–06 Serie A season, Ferrante played 172 Serie A games and scored 48 goals. He also played 290 Serie B games and scored 111 goals.[1]

He was included in the Italian squad that took part at the 1992 Summer Olympic games in Barcelona, but he failed to make appearance throughout the tournament. He was never capped for Italy at senior level.[4]
