A long-time member of the Italian Socialist Party (PSI) and close aide of Bettino Craxi, Intini was spokesman of the PSI and representative of the party in the Socialist International. He founded the Socialist Party (PS) in 1996 and joined the Italian Democratic Socialists (SDI) in 1998. Intini led the electoral list of PSI in the region Liguria after Sandro Pertini and was elected three times in the Chamber of Deputies from 1983 to 1994. In 2001, he was elected again a deputy in the single-member district of East Genoa, a position he maintained until 2006.
