In 1996 he exhibits in Château des Izards, Périgueux, and also at the Galerie du Vieux Belfort, Belfort. Meanwhile he continues his collaboration with Galleria F. Russo, in Rome, where an exhibition covering ten years of his artistic activity, from 1985 to 1995, is organised. 

In 1996 his sculptures are also exhibited at the public gallery in Cesena and another exhibition is held at the medieval Castle of Monteleone, on the hills of Cesena. Moreover, during the same year, he takes part in three important exhibitions:

From July to September of the same year his sculptures are exhibited in the Republic of San Marino. 1999 and 2000 are very active years, with exhibitions held both in Italy and abroad.

In May '99 some of his sculptures are placed in a Resthome in Modena; in October the exhibition entitled "Dovadola invites Cesena" takes place in Dovadola and others are held in France (Le Mans, Annecy, Toulouse), in Belgium ("Lineart 99") as well as in Luxembourg, at Sandra Scherr's Gallery in Wiltz.

From 31st March to 25th April 2001 Lucchi exhibits in Cortona: it's a personal and very suggestive exhibition, since it gathers more than 50 works dating back to the last 10 years of his work, taking advantage of the beauty of the ancient rooms of Palazzo Casali housing these artistic pieces. Later, from May to August 2001, Lucchi exhibits in Rome, at Galleria F. Russo

In France other exhibitions are then held: in Annecy, at Galleria Platini in June, and in Toulouse, at Galleria Daudet in November. In March 2002 Lucchi takes part in Fiera del Levante.

In June 2002 he inaugurates his new studio, located just in the heart of his city: it's a wide and bright environment, combining both workshop and exhibition hall, a place where the artist continues the direct relationship with his public he managed to develop over the years.

In 2004 and 2005 Lucchi creates many monuments among which we mention the group of sculptures dedicated to the soldiers fallen during the Second World War, in Terni’s cemetery and the monument to Mother Therese from Calcutta, near Cesena Hospital.

In the meantime many new personal exhibitions take place in Italy and France.

During 2004 Christmas time he exhibits in Paris at Galerie Ariel Sibony and in 2005 Switzerland hosts for the first time his works in St. Gallen and other towns.

Lucchi is also present in the most important art fairs in Europe: Arte Fiera – Bologna; Expo Arte – Bari; Lineart – Gant (Belgium); Europ’Art – Geneva (Switzerland) and others.

His works are exhibited on a permanent basis both at Galleria F. Russo in Rome and at Galerie Ariel Sibony in Paris, at Daudet in Toulouse, at Raugraff in Nancy, at Damon in Poitiers, Cimaise di Besançon and at Platini in Veyrier du Lac (Annecy), France.
