Guarino started his career as a faculty member at the University of Sassari in 1950 and became a professor of public law there.[1][2] He also taught public law at the University of Siena.[3] From 1967 to 1987 he was the governor of the Bank of Italy.[2] He was elected to the Chamber of Deputies on the list of the DC.[1] In 1987 he was appointed minister of finance to the Fanfani cabinet and in 1992 he was named minister of industry and minister of state holdings to the cabinet led by Prime Minister Giuliano Amato.[1][4]
