Following the resignation of Leoluca Orlando, as of July 10, 2012, he has been deputy of the Italian Republic, as the first non-elected in District 1 of Lazio's list for Italy of Values, until the end of the legislature on March 14, 2013.

In 2012, after a campaign based on his book Il transumanesimo. Una nuova filosofia per l'uomo del XXI secolo (Transhumanism. A new philosophy for the man of the 21st century), he was described as 'the world's first transhumanist politician', [2] [3] however, a controversial parliamentary question he submitted about UFOs, [4] and rooted in an apocryphal story, created a social media quarrel [5] [6] and eventually led one of the two Italian transhumanist association to explicitly disassociate his activity from the transhumanist movement.
