  According to Vasari's Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects, Andrea Ferrucci was also a student of Michele Maini, also from Fiesole. He was working for King Ferdinand I of Naples in 1487 and married the daughter of Antonio di Giorgio Marchesi the King’s architect and military engineer. From 1512 to 1518, he superintended the work on the Duomo of Florence, for which he himself executed a statue of Saint Andrew. In 1519, for Archbishop Tamás Bakócz he provided the design for the marble altar for the Bakócz chapel at Esztergom, which is the earliest and most significant surviving Renaissance building in Hungary. His half-length bust of Marsilio Ficino adorns Santa Maria del Fiore, the Duomo of Florence.
  Among his masterworks is the bas-reliefs surrounding the baptismal font at the Duomo of Pistoia.

He was a first cousin once removed of the artist Francesco di Simone Ferrucci (1437–1493), under whom he studied.
