Born on December 19, 1977, in Trieste, Italy, Elisa grew up in a creative environment that fostered her early love for music. She began writing songs and performing at a young age, drawing inspiration from a diverse range of musical genres, including rock, pop, and classical music.

The album was a commercial success in Italy and marked the beginning of her long and fruitful career.

Over the years, Elisa has released numerous albums that have showcased her ability to seamlessly blend different musical styles, from rock and pop to electronic and orchestral music. Her second album, "Asile's World" (2000), further established her as a dynamic and innovative artist. With the release of "Luce (Tramonti a Nord Est)" in 2001, Elisa achieved one of her most significant career milestones, winning the prestigious Sanremo Music Festival. This song, performed in Italian, became a defining moment in her career and remains one of her most iconic tracks.

Albums such as "Then Comes the Sun" (2001), "Heart" (2009), and "L'anima vola" (2013) have all been met with critical and commercial success, solidifying her status as a leading figure in Italian music.
In addition to her success in Italy, Elisa has also gained international recognition, collaborating with artists from around the world and performing at major music festivals. Her ability to sing in both English and Italian has allowed her to connect with a wide audience, and her music has been featured in various films and television shows, further expanding her global reach.
Elisa is known not only for her musical talents but also for her commitment to social and environmental causes. She has been actively involved in various charitable initiatives, using her platform to raise awareness about important issues.
