Lupi served as a member of the municipal council of Milan from 1993 to 1997 and until 1996 he was vice president of the council.[4] He has been a member of the Italian parliament since the XIV legislative period or 2001.[2][4] He served as deputy house speaker until 28 April 2013 when he was appointed minister of infrastructure and transport in the Letta cabinet.[5] He replaced Corrado Passera in the post.[6] Lupi joined the New Centre-Right formed by Angelino Alfano in November 2013.[7][8] Lupi continued to serve as the minister of infrastructure and transport in the cabinet formed by Matteo Renzi in February 2014.[9]

On 19 March 2015 he announced that he would step down as minister on the following day due to a scandal involving public works on infrastructure in which his name was cited several times.[10] Lupi's tenure as infrastructure and transport minister ended next day when he resigned from the post and Prime Minister Matteo Renzi accepted it.[11]
