In the passionately evocative images, that Franco Ferraro composes with safe hand an refined technique, appears to be a reality of suggestive ambient implications. The specificness of nature and of places, near to the experience of the painter and ingrained habits in his emotions, appear from the magic texture of colours, that grant appropriate remarks of the mood they are called to interpret and that reveal the accomplished skill of the artist.... (V. Cracas)

… a painter with firm and diligent stroke. Emblematic concepts well expressed. Old serenity fitting environmental concerted nature. Descriptive concept recurrent in the social problems of southern Italy. Interesting background subjects. Reminiscences of a better past. (N. Villari)

… he is an instinctive artist, that runs off in realising his works. Research never abandons him and the composite surrender, for this young artist, is always valid as for style plan than for formal plan. (G. Leonetti Micera)
