Patocchi then worked as a teacher at a primary school for seven years and was also one of the founding members of the Society of Friends of National Education. From 1848 he officiated as government commissioner for the district of Vallemaggia . The timber trade in the Maggia valley made him very wealthy.
Patocchi represented radical liberal views and was elected to the Grand Council of the Canton of Ticino in 1848, of which he was a member until 1852. After the results of the National Council elections in Ticino in 1854 had been declared invalid, he joined the repetition in March 1855 and was elected in the constituency of North Ticino .
