On 18 May 2006, Tononi joined the 2nd Cabinet of Romano Prodi, where he served as Treasury Undersecretary of the Ministry Of Economy and Finance (2006-2008), then headed by Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa.

Upon Prodi's sudden fall in May 2008, Tononi in September the same year again appointed a Partner and Managing Director of the Investment Banking Division of Goldman Sachs, London.
