FERRARIS, GIUSEPPE (Ital.). Medallist and Coin-engraver of Turin. His earliest medal is dated 1828. Under Charles Albert, King of Sardinia, he was Chief-engraver of the coins at the Mint of Turin, a post which he retained under Victor Emmanuel II, after the latter's proclamation as King of Italy, and which he still held in 1869. His signature appears in full, FERRARIS, on the coins engrav- ed by him. Ferraris executed also numerous medals, relating mostly to events in contemporary Italian history. His busts of Victor Emmanuel are of undisputed merit. The following medals are by him : Mercurin- Arborée de Gattinara, Chancellor of Charles V., 1845 ; — Samuel Jesi, 1855 ; — Cesare Saluzzo, Director of the Military School at Turin, 1854 ; — Marriage of Ferdinand I. of Austria with Marian- na Pia, 183 1. Bibliography. — Schlickeysen-Pallmann, op. cit. — Various Sale Catalogues, &c.
