If time is the highest priority for you, have you considered flying? You'll need a layover somewhere, but a quick glance shows some itineraries that get it done within 3-4 hours, including flights that leave in the evening so as to maximize your daytime hours. Even including airport time and airport travel time at both ends, it will be hours faster than the bus.

There are plenty of nice cities to be seen between Marseille and Bologna. Nice, Cannes, in Italy Genova, then you can deviate a little bit from the highway and visit Pisa and Firenze as well. The total driving time (without stopping) is around 8 hours.

If you don't want to stop or you don't have time so the quickest way is taking a flight (but I have no idea about your budget). Consider that there are no direct flights between Bologna and Marseille, so you will have some time wasted sitting in a connection airport, a couple of hours at least.

How about an overnight ferry to Corsica, pleasant day on Corsica, overnight ferry to Genoa or Civitavecchia, leaving 3 hours on the train to Bologna?

Efficient in terms of daytime travelling and seeing nice places.
