After holding the posts of city councilor and deputy mayor of the same city, in 1998 Marini was elected mayor of Todi and held the office until 2007. In 2000 she was named by UNICEF as ideal defender mayor of children for its activities in support of projects for the protection of children's rights.[citation needed]

Marini was MEP from 2008 to 2009; she was a member of the parliamentary group of the European Socialist Party and of the Internal Market and Consumer Protection Commission and of the delegation for the Maghreb countries. She ran again for the European Parliament in 2009, but was not elected.

She was elected president of the Umbria region in the regional election of 2010;[1] was then reconfirmed also in the 2015 regional election.

On 16 April 2019, following an inquiry by the prosecutor's office of Perugia on alleged wrongdoings in the employment of the Umbrian health system (in which she was investigated for abuse of office, revelation of official and false secret),[2] Marini announced her resignation as president of the region.[3] On 7 May she justified in the Umbrian Legislative Assembly her resignation, that was rejected on the 18 May by the same Assembly;[4] finally, she confirmed the resignation two days later.[5]
