A deep observation of the Galactic Bulge has been performed with the Wide Field Cameras (WFCs) on board the currently operating satellite BeppoSAX. The observation consists of two different campaigns during October 1996 and March-April 1997 for a total exposure time of 500 ksec. During these observations a series of numerous X-ray bursts occurred, originating from sources already known as bursting sources, namely: KS 1731-26, H1724-30, GX 354-0, A1742-294, SLX 1744-299, 4U1820-30 and the peculiar object GRO 1744-28. Besides these ones, bursts have been observed for the first time from the new discovered source, SAX J1750.8-2900, and from the direction of two already known sources: GS 1826-24 and SLX 1735-269. Preliminary results on bursting sources are presented.
