Running with the party led by Giorgia Meloni,he candidated for the Chamber of Deputies in the 2013 general elections in the Lombardy 2 constituency,where the list did not win any seats.
In 2018,he ran unsuccessfully in both the general elections for the Chamber in the multi-member constituency Lombardy 3 - 01 and in the regional elections in Lombardy for the province of Brescia,receiving 994 votes and not being elected.

In June 2022,he was investigated for corruption related to actions contrary to his official duties in connection with the resignation of municipal councilor Giovanni Francesco Acri in Brescia,which allegedly made room for Calovini,the first non-elected candidate and considered close to MEP Carlo Fidanza.

In June 2023,Fidanza and Calovini decided to reach a plea deal,emphasizing that,according to recent jurisprudence,"this choice does not imply any admission of criminal responsibility," reiterating that the contested action was the result not of corruption but of a political agreement among party colleagues,without any exchange of money or misappropriation of it.

The PRI identifies with 19th-century classical radicalism,as well as Mazzinianism,and its modern incarnation is associated with liberalism,social liberalism,and centrism. The PRI has old roots and a long history that began with a left-wing position,being the heir of the Historical Far Left and claiming descent from the political thought of Giuseppe Mazzini and Giuseppe Garibaldi. With the rise of the Italian Communist Party and the Italian Socialist Party (PSI) to its left,it was associated with centre-left politics. The early PRI was also known for its anti-clerical,anti-monarchist,republican,and later anti-fascist stances.

The Italian Socialist Party was a social democratic and democratic socialist political party in Italy,whose history stretched for longer than a century,making it one of the longest-living parties of the country. Founded in Genoa in 1892,the PSI was from the beginning a big tent of Italy's political left and socialism,ranging from the revolutionary socialism of Andrea Costa to the Marxist-inspired reformist socialism of Filippo Turati and the anarchism of Anna Kuliscioff. Under Turati's leadership,the party was a frequent ally of the Italian Republican Party and the Italian Radical Party at the parliamentary level,while lately entering in dialogue with the remnants of the Historical Left and the Liberal Union during Giovanni Giolitti's governments to ensure representation for the labour movement and the working class. In the 1900s and 1910s,the PSI achieved significant electoral success,becoming Italy's first party in 1919 and during the country's Biennio Rosso in 1921,when it was victim of violent paramilitary activities from the far right,and was not able to move the country in the revolutionary direction it wanted.
