Born in Perugia, Ferroni started in the mid 1930s as documentary director and assistant director of Gennaro Righelli, then he debuted as director in 1937, specializing in adventure films. After the war he directed a couple of neorealist films, Pian delle stelle and Tombolo, paradiso nero.

Later Ferroni was very active in swords-and-sandals films, achieved critical attention for the horror Mill of the Stone Women and success with a series of spaghetti westerns starring Giuliano Gemma.
