Pope Leo XIII appointed him bishop of Guastalla on 29 May 1890. He was transferred to the see of Como exactly a year later. Pope Leo raised him to the cardinalate, making him Cardinal-Priest of Sant'Anastasia,[2] in the consistory of May 18, 1894. He remained at Como until he was transferred to the metropolitan see of Milan on 21 May 1894. Shortly after his appointment to Milan he took Carlo as a middle name in honour of Saint Charles Borromeo who was once Cardinal- Archbishop of Milan. Cardinal Ferrari participated in the conclaves of 1903 that elected Pope Pius X and 1914 that elected Pope Benedict XV. He died in 1921 in Milan.
