Elsa Lila is a citizen of the world. At first glance, her identity card describes a girl born in Albania and raised in Italy, but talking about just dual nationality does not do her justice.

At 25 years old, Elsa is already a cosmopolitan, due to her numerous experiences abroad – from the United States to China, going through Europe, above all Italy– as well as to her boundless personality. An artist at 360 degrees, Elsa is capable of passing smoothly from the theatre stage to singing, thanks to a unique artistic gene she possesses.

Elsa’s father was a singer of the former Albanian State Choir, her mother a violinist. Her parents raised her on theatre and music, nourishing in her a strong passion for the arts and an exceptional talent which flourished quite brightly. The young and extrovert girl of today has been on the limelight since her childhood, as she owned the spotlight in the Albanian State Television shows. From there, her career was a continuous and precocious success surprising the public and music experts worldwide. While in her teens, she won the Albanian National Song Contest two years in a row, followed by many experiences abroad where she has always drawn attention and admiration.

She owes her success to a rare voice and an extraordinary stage presence, but also to her exuberant and straightforward personality. Having already participated at the Sanremo Festival Youth Contest in 2003, Elsa is ready to return to the Ariston Theatre to unfold her talent and her accomplished artistic maturity.

Objective: to promote herself artistically through a particularly involving song entitled “The sense of life”, music by Maurizio Fabrizio and lyrics by Guido Morra. Elsa will readily touch our hearts with this piece, as we have learned to expect from her remarkable performances.

About Digital Photography

Digital photography, as opposed to film photography, uses electronic devices to record and capture the image as binary data. This facilitates storage and editing of the images on personal computers, and also the ability to show and delete unsuccessful images immediately on the camera or software itself. Digital cameras now outsell film cameras and include features that are not found in film cameras such as the ability to shoot video and record audio. Some other devices, such as mobile phones, now include digital photography features. The quality of a digital image is the sum of various factors, many of which are similar to film cameras. Pixel count (typically listed in megapixels, millions of pixels) is only one of the major factors, though it is the most heavily marketed. Pixel count metrics were created by the marketing organizations of digital camera manufacturers because consumers can use it to easily compare camera capabilities. It is not, however, the major factor in evaluating a digital camera. The processing system inside the camera that turns the raw data into a color-balanced and pleasing photograph is the most critical, which is why some 4+ megapixel cameras perform better than higher-end cameras.
