His research project “Tradition and Innovation in Ancient Egypt. The Amduat Papyri Between the 21st and 22nd Dynasties” investigates the visual and textual motifs of the Amduat papyri of the Third Intermediate Period (1069-664 BCE). The corpora of his research are the Amduat papyri in the Museo Egizio (Turin) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York).

Enrico is specialised in ancient Egyptian religion and texts of the I mill. BCE. His first publications concern the Amduat papyri in the Museo Egizio and in the Vatican Museums. He is also interested in the study of Egyptological collections in museum contexts.
