Enrica won first prize at the III Premio Petrassi International Composition Competition in 2009, with Ennio Morricone leading the jury. Other awards include the 2012 Peer Raben Award at Soundtrack Cologne, the 2012 finalist award at the Berlinale Talent Campus (mentored by Ryuichi Sakamoto), the 2014 ISFMF Awards, with John Corigliano as head of the jury, the nomination for the prestigious SABAM Award for Young Composer at the World Soundtrack Awards in Ghent (2016), and the top 5 finalists award at the ERO Competition 2024, first Italian woman composer to achieve this result. 

​

Enrica defines herself as a composer crossing the boundaries between film and concert music. Her style is identified by lush melodies and, when not kidnapped by her fascination with the orchestra, interesting blends of acoustic and electronic sounds, always with a strong passion for exploring what live performers could bring to the music.
