Originally from Padua and now based in Trento, Elisa is the newest member of the Buyer's Guide photography team. In her day job she's a photographer and filmmaker, but only when she's not trotting the globe adventuring on skis, on foot, or on her bike. For the 2025 edition she worked on the Women's category.
