From 1870 to 1876 and 1880 to 1882 he was a member of the Camera dei deputati and took part in daily politics after the accidents of 1866 with the sensational pamphlet Di chi è la culpa? . In 1884 he was appointed Senator of the Kingdom of Italy . From February 1891 to May 1892 Villari was Minister of Education in the first cabinet of Antonio Starabba di Rudinì .
