Fanucchi has appeared on stage since he was a child.^[2]

In 2000 he made his debut as a professional in productions for the Teatro del Giglio in Lucca, directing "Histoire du Soldat" and in 2001 he starred in the melodrama "Enoch Arden",^[3] in which he also starred. Since then he has alternated acting and directing in various Italian and foreign theaters,^[4] devoting much time to musical theater as well.

In 2011 he began his collaboration with the Peccioli Teatro company directed by Andrea Buscemi, with whom he performed in theatrical tours in co-starring roles.^[5] In 2017 he began a collaboration with the Fondazione Sipario Toscana onlus for children.^[6]

In 2018 the two conducted Gaetano Donizetti's "L'elisir d'amore" at the Sejong Art Center in Seoul.

For the Geneva Chamber Opera, in 2019 he co-directed with Cataldo Russo, “Così fan tutte”,. In 2021, again with Cataldo Russo, co-directed “Don Pasquale” by Gaetano Donizetti.^{[7] [8]} and, in 2022, with Gioacchino Rossini's "La cambiale di matrimonio".
