Giulio Ferrari (1858-1934) was an Italian artist, art historian and teacher. After an initial and brief apprenticeship with the 'atelier of painter Reggiano G. Fontanesi, in April of 1878 he enrolled at the Institute of Fine Arts in Florence, where he attended the course of "common figure" under the guidance of U. De Matteis.
Although he then embarked on the path of art-historical studies and teaching, Ferrari is also known for paintings that he made in the last two decades of the nineteenth century
