Elisa holds a PhD in Sociology and Social Research from the University of Trento.

She recently concluded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship, hosted by the Centre for European and Comparative Studies, Sciences Po Paris.

The ERRANT project (Ethnography of Radical Right Across Nations and Territories) involved a comparative ethnography of two medium-sized cities governed by the Italian Lega and the French Rassemblement National.

Elisa has also worked on progressive social movements, in particular feminist and LGBTQI+.

With Félicien Faury, she recently published, in Government & Opposition, an ethnographic analysis of the French Rassemblement National in local government: Going Local, Going Mainstream? Ethnographic Study of Two French Cities Governed by the Rassemblement National.
