Bucchino is a doctor in Toronto, Ontario, and was elected as a member of L'Unione (led by Romano Prodi).

In 2011, he claimed that President Silvio Berlusconi had attempted to bribe him into switching his party allegiance.

Biography In the 2006 general election, he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies on the L'Unione ticket in the Overseas – North and Central America constituency and joined the Democratic Party (Italy) caucus.

In February 2011, he publicly denounced an alleged attempt at bribery, claiming that a young member of the Socialist Refoundation Party had promised him 150,000 euros and re-election—with Denis Verdini guarantee—if he joined the centre-right parliamentary majority and supported Silvio Berlusconi.
