Subsequently, he joined the Five Star Movement, thanks to his father, who had already informed him in 2013 that Beppe Grillo was looking for list representatives. In the same year, he ran for the municipal elections in Campania as the mayor of San Paolo Bel Sito with the Five Star Movement.[2]
He won the internal primaries within the Five Star Movement and was nominated on the M5S list for the political elections in March 2018.
