We have some limited information about Ferruccio's many performances, mostly his American trip in 1948. We note that only a few weeks after his 4th birthday, he debuted in Milan in 1943, conducting the orchestra by memorizing gestures to give cues. Ferruccio performed as a child prodigy in the role of a conductor of major symphony orchestras in Italy. He was reportedly active at age 7 in 1947. He was billed as "Ferruccio Burco, age 7, the world's youngest orchestral conductor." He toured the United States in 1948, appearing in Philadelphia, Detroit, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York (Carnegie Hall). He conducted the the Philharmonic Symphony orchestra. [Life] A special performance of "Cavalleria rusticana", featuring his mother in the role of Santuzza, was given at New York's Randalls Island. In America he was impressed by comic books and hamburgers. We have no information about his subsequent performances.
Life (March 15, 1948).
