Luca Ferrari (Cremona, 6-4-1963) is an Italian underground writer. He wrote books about folk and rock musicians as Third Ear Band, Pink Floyd, Robyn Hitchcock, Captain Beefheart, Tim Buckley, Syd Barrett for the main Italian home publishing, writing articles and reviews for Italian magazines such as ''Ciao 2001'', ''Vinile'', ''Buscadero'', and ''Rockerilla''. He met Syd Barrett in 1986 and contributed to the reunion of the Third Ear Band during the 1980s. Having run Italian fanzines about Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett since 1979, he worked together with Ivor Trueman (who was running the fanzines ''The Amazing Pudding'' and ''Opel'') about a petition in order to allow the release of the album ''Opel''. His book ''Tatuato sul Muro: L'enigma di Syd Barrett'', published in January 1986, sold well in Italy and was worldwide the first biographical book about the controversial, and at the time even more enigmatic, figure of Syd Barrett. In 1993 he did contribute with an essay to the Captain Beefheeart (Don Van Vliet) catalogue titled ''Stand up to be discontinued. The art of Don Van Vliet'' (Cantz edition) and in 2011 he did an expert advice to the book titled ''Barrett'' (Essential Works Limited, London 2012), edited by Russell Beecher and Will Shutes. His book about Italian folk music titled ''Folk Geneticamente Modificato'' (2003) is one of the few contributions ever published in Italy. In 2015 he has published for Gonzo Multimedia ''Out of Nowhere'', the first biography on English jazz piano player Mike Taylor, drowned in 1969 at 30 in mysterious circumstances. ==Bibliography== *''Pink Floyd'' (Arcana Editrice, Milano 1985) *''Tatuato sul Muro.
