First gubernatorial term

In 1998, Tondo became Regional Councilor with Forza Italia. In 2001 he was appointed President of the Regional Council of Friuli-Venezia Giulia.[1] In 2006, Tondo was elected to the Chamber of Deputies.

Second gubernatorial term

In 2008, Tondo was re-elected President of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, supported by the centre-right coalition, defeating the incumbent governor Riccardo Illy, who was supported by the Democratic Party.[2] Five years later, in 2013, Tondo was defeated by centre-left candidate Debora Serracchiani.[3]
