### Karting

Born in Rome, Pulcini began karting professionally in 2012, and came 7th in the KF3 category in the Italian ACI Karting Championship, won the ROK Cup International Final in the Junior ROK class. He rounded off the season participating in the 23° Trofeo Andrea Margutti - KF3 category, coming in 22nd.

He came 6th in the CIK-FIA Karting European Championship and runner-up to the CIK-FIA World Championship. Pulcini made his KF debut in 2014, during his first year in single-seaters, coming 29th in the CIK-FIA Karting European Championship. He also made his WSK Champions Cup debut, coming in 10th, Pulcini also came 18th in the WSK Super Master Series.

### Lower Formulae

In 2014, Pulcini graduated to single-seaters, competing with DAV Racing in the inaugural season of the Italian F4 Championship, where he finished fourth. He also partook in two rounds of that year's Euroformula Open Championship with the same team.
In 2015, Pulcini switched to Euroformula Open full-time with DAV Racing, scoring his maiden victory at the first race at the Red Bull Ring and finished ninth in the standings. He also partook in the first round of the 2015 Auto GP Series.
The following year he switched to Campos Racing. With them, he took seven victories, three pole positions and eight fastest laps to secure the Euroformula Open title.

### GP3 Series

In November 2016, it was announced that Pulcini would reunite with Campos for GP3 Series post-season testing at Yas Marina. In January 2017, Pulcini signed to race with Arden International. A second place in the first round at Catalunya would end up being his only points-scoring finish and the Italian ended up 14th in the championship.
For 2018 Pulcini moved to Campos Racing in what would be the final season of the GP3 Series. His results were much better, and after two race wins and three further podiums Pulcini finished fourth in the drivers' standings.

### Sports car racing

Ahead of the 2023 season, Pulcini was named a Lamborghini factory driver. His first assignment was a customer racing drive in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup with Iron Lynx. His co-drivers in the Gold Cup class were Rolf Ineichen and Michele Beretta.
