After the victory of Antonio Rastrelli Martusciello entered the regional council, and held the position of head deputy of Forza Italia until the elections in 1999. In 2005 Martusciello accumulated over 35,000 votes, setting a record for votes garnered in elections for Regional Councils of Italy. In 2010 he was elected to the regional council for the fourth time. By this point however Forza Italy had begun a hiatus starting in 2009 (and lasting until 2013). Martusciello's fourth regional appointment was to the newly formed People of Freedom party, and was unanimously elected President. In February of 2016 Silvio Berlusconi appointed Martusciello to National Coordinator of the Defenders of Voices.

Starting on 20 October 2012 Martusciello acted as an Advisor to the President of the Campania Region, with the express responsibility of handling economic and developmental matters. His position as an advisor to economics and development would set the stage for his future positions in the European Parliament
In October 2012 Martusciello stepped down as President of the Campania region, passing his responsibilities to Stefano Caldoro. In the following year Forza Italy was reborn, and Martusciello rejoined with aspirations of higher office.
