He took part in the Salon des Indépendants from 1910 on. He enlisted in the Volunteer Cyclist Battalion in 1915 and he became one of the most famous Italian war artists. He lives the war experience with a lot of the Futurism movement's exponents. In "Pane e Luna", his biography, he wrote: « Siamo fucilieri dell’ottavo plotone, a guardia notturna del Forte Trimellone e del lacustre Fronte. Tra noi buoni compagnoni sono i chiari Futuristi; altri oscuri per un oscuro compito ». In the series "Croquis du Front Italien" that includes 50 drypoints, Bucci describes scenes of the Italian front in the First World War. During the war, in his battalion there were Marinetti, Boccioni and Sant'Elia. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
