In April she competed at the 2015 European Championships where she qualified to the all-around final in tenth place. However, she opted to withdraw from the final and allow teammate Martina Rizzelli to compete, due to the fact she was still overcoming mononucleosis. In October Ferrari competed at the Novara Cup where Italy finished second in the team final and Ferrari finished eleventh in the all-around. Later that month Ferrari competed at the 2015 World Championships. She helped Italy qualify to the team finals and individually she qualified to the all-around final but withdrew, which allowed teammate Tea Ugrin to compete.

2016

Ferrari in 2016

At the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Ferrari qualified for the individual all-around and floor finals. She finished in sixteenth place in the all-around final and fourth in the floor final, just missing the podium in the latter, as she had at the 2012 Olympics.

In September, she had surgery on her Achilles' tendons, but said she plans to continue training for more competition after a six-month rehabilitation.

2017–2018

Ferrari spent the majority of 2017 recovering from tendon pain. She competed at the final Italian Serie A in September where she scored second highest on floor for the senior field and was named to the team to compete at the 2017 World Championships in Montreal. During qualifications Ferrari finished 25th on beam but qualified to the floor exercise final in seventh place. During the final Ferrari tore her Achilles tendon while performing a whip to full twisting double back. Ferrari was one of many gymnasts who were injured while warming up or competing at the 2017 World Championships, following Rebeca Andrade of Brazil, Larisa Iordache of Romania, Ragan Smith of the United States, and Kohei Uchimura of Japan.

Ferrari spent 2018 recovering from her injury sustained at the 2017 World Championships. She announced that she would try to qualify for the 2020 Olympics through the apparatus world cup circuit.

2019

Ferrari returned to competition in February 2019 at the Melbourne World Cup. She only competed on balance beam and floor exercise; she qualified to the floor final in first place. She later won gold on floor exercise, finishing over a point ahead of second-place finisher Paula Mejias of Puerto Rico. At the Baku World Cup Ferrari qualified to the floor exercise final in third place, behind compatriot Lara Mori and American Jade Carey. In the final she once again finished third behind Carey and Mori. Directly after the Baku World Cup, Ferrari traveled to Doha for the Doha World Cup where she qualified to the floor exercise final in seventh place. In finals she once again won bronze behind Carey and Mori.

2020

In late January Ferrari was listed on a nominative roster that was released for the Melbourne World Cup, taking place on February 20–22. She qualified in second place to the floor exercise event finals behind Jade Carey. During event finals she once again placed second behind Carey. In March she competed at the Baku World Cup and finished second on floor exercise behind Lara Mori during qualifications and advanced to the event final. However event finals were canceled due to the 2020 coronavirus outbreak in Azerbaijan.

2021

Ferrari made her return to the all-around at the 3rd Italian Serie A of 2021, over four years after her last all-around performance at the 2016 Olympic Games. She placed first in the all-around and helped Brixia place first as a team. In April Ferrari was selected to represent Italy at the European Championships in Basel alongside Alice D'Amato, Martina Maggio, and Giorgia Villa. During qualifications she finished seventh in the all-around and fourth on floor exercise, qualifying to both finals. Ferrari later withdrew from the all-around final as a precaution. On the last day of event finals she won the bronze medal on floor exercise, behind Jessica Gadirova of Great Britain and Angelina Melnikova of Russia, performing the exercise on the notes of "Bella ciao" and dedicating the medal to the Liberation Day of Italy. This medal came 7 years after her last medal in European Championships, and 15 years after her first one.

Ferrari competed at the Doha World Cup where she placed first in the all-around. As a result, she earned her nominative berth to compete at the 2020 Summer Olympics, her fourth Olympic Games. Weeks before the start of the Games, Giorgia Villa was injured and Ferrari was chosen to replace her on the four-person Italian team.

Ferrari represented Italy at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan alongside Asia D'Amato, Alice D'Amato, and Martina Maggio. The four qualified for the team finals and placed fourth with a total score of 163.638. Ferrari herself qualified in first place to the floor exercise final with a score of 14.166. She placed second in the final behind gold medalist Jade Carey of the US and ahead of bronze medalists Mai Murakami of Japan and Angelina Melnikova of Russia (under the Russian Olympic Committee) with a score of 14.200.

In competing at her fourth Olympic Games, Ferrari became the fourth female artistic gymnast to become a four-time Olympian following four-time Olympian Olga Tass (1948–1960), eight-time Olympian Oksana Chusovitina (1992–2020), and five-time Olympian Daniele Hypólito (2000–2016).
