From the age of five, Elisa has played the piano. The professor Lidia Baldecchi-Arcuri taught her to play from this very young age. Elisa has since travelled to Milan and Verona to continue her musical studies with Ilonka Deckers-Kuszler and Laura Palmieri. At the age of sixteen, Elisa was admitted to the prestigious Music Academy ‘Incontri Col Maestro’ in Imola. In 1997, Elisa gained a diploma with the highest scores at the Conservatory “G. Verdi” of Milan. After a few years break Elisa debuted at the Kennedy Centre in Washington and the Gewandhaus (Lipsia, Germany). The repertoire of Elisa is mostly based on the Romantic era and the Russian composers for which she often performs entire recitals.
