Bugetti graduated in political sciences from the Cesare Alfieri Institute of the University of Florence. She joined the Democrats of the Left at its founding, being elected in 1999 as a municipal councilor of Cantagallo, a municipality of which she later served as mayor from 2004 to 2014.
In 2010, she was elected secretary of the Prato provincial section of the Democratic Party, a role she held until the end of 2013.
In the 2015 Tuscan regional election, Bugetti was elected as a member of the Regional Council of Tuscany with the Democratic Party, and was subsequently re-elected in the 2020 election.
