He started his political activity as town councilor inRome, for theChristian Democracy party (DC). In 1994, when DC disbanded, he joined theChristian Democratic Centre, which entered thePole of Freedoms.
In the same year, he became president of theChristian Democratic Centre (CCD) parliamentary group at theChamber of Deputies. Then he was secretary and national co-ordinator of the Christian Democratic Centre. In 2001 he was re-elected at the Parliament; in 2002 he joined theUnion of Christian and Centre Democrats, the result of a merger between CCD,United Christian Democrats, andEuropean Democracy.
In theBerlusconi II Cabinet he was sub-secretary of theForeign Ministry from 2001 to 2004. On 3 December 2004, he became Minister of the Public Function. He was reconfirmed minister inBerlusconi III Cabinet from 2005 to 2006.

On 30 January 2008, he left UDC and he founded theWhite Rose movement withBruno Tabacci.[1] He was candidated asmayor of Roma, taking just 0.8% of the votes. AtItalian general election, the White Rose was in alliance with UDC and other Christian democrats movements into theUnion of the Centre, and Baccini was elected to the Chamber of Deputies: he didn't join White Rose's parliamentary group, but rather he adhered to the mixed group.
On 14 May, during the parliament discussion about themotion of confidence toBerlusconi IV Cabinet, he announced to vote the confidence to the cabinet, leaving the project of the White Rose.
