Ferretti, Salvatore (b. 1817, d. 1874), lived for a time in England, where he edited a journal entitled, L'Eco di Savonarola, and in 1850 published Inni e Salmi ad uso dei Cristiani d' Italia (Lond., Partridge and Oakey). He afterwards returned to Florence, where he established a Protestant orphanage. Six of his hymns are in common use.
