Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Amendment No. 23 to Schedule 13D on the Common Stock of Ferro
Corporation (the "Issuer") is being filed on behalf of the undersigned to amend
the Schedule 13D, as amended (the "Schedule 13D") which was originally filed on
August 28, 1990. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein
but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the
Schedule 13D.
Item 2. Identity and Background
This statement is being filed by Mario J. Gabelli ("Mario
Gabelli"), Marc J. Gabelli ("Marc Gabelli") and various entities which either
one directly or indirectly controls or for which either one acts as chief
investment officer. These entities, except for Lynch Corporation ("Lynch"),
Western New Mexico Telephone Company ("Western New Mexico"), Lynch Telephone
Corporation ("Lynch Telephone"), Lynch Interactive Corporation ("Interactive"),
Brighton Communications Corporation ("Brighton") and Inter-Community Telephone
Company ("Inter-Community") (collectively, "Lynch and its affiliates"), engage
in various aspects of the securities business, primarily as investment adviser
to various institutional and individual clients, including registered
investment companies and pension plans, as broker/dealer and as general partner
of various private investment partnerships. Certain of these entities may also
make investments for their own accounts.
The foregoing persons in the aggregate often own beneficially more than
5% of a class of a particular issuer. Although several of the foregoing
persons are treated as institutional investors for purposes of reporting their
beneficial ownership on the short-form Schedule 13G, the holdings of those who
do not qualify as institutional investors may exceed the 1% threshold presented
for filing on Schedule 13G or implementation of their investment philosophy may
from time to time require action which could be viewed as not completely
passive. In order to avoid any question as to whether their beneficial
ownership is being reported on the proper form and in order to provide greater
investment flexibility and administrative uniformity, these persons have
decided to file their beneficial ownership reports on the more detailed
Schedule 13D form rather than on the short-form Schedule 13G and thereby to
provide more expansive disclosure than may be necessary.
(a), (b) and (c) - This statement is being filed by one or more of the
following persons: Gabelli Group Capital Partners, Inc. ("Gabelli Partners"),

Sharing Plan (the "Plan"), Gabelli International Limited ("GIL"), Gabelli
International II Limited ("GLI II"), ALCE Partners, L.P. ("ALCE"), Gabelli
