In 1998 she was the first elected in the administrative poll in Desenzano del Garda and became the president of the city council until 2000, in which year a motion of no confidence against her eventually passed.

On 18 November 2007, she was in Piazza San Babila in Milan when Silvio Berlusconi announced the birth of The People of Freedom political movement and subsequently she became a member of the founding committee of the party.

On 20 July 2022, she left Forza Italia after the confidence vote for the Draghi government failed to pass and the party choice to abstain.

This statement caused controversy both in and outside Italy, and spawned a wave of jokes on the Internet making fun of the announcement.
