The patron of Poggiofiorito is Saint Matthew, celebrated on 21 September in the church dedicated to him.
The village was the birthplace of accordionist Tommaso Coccione, who composed several tunes after emigrating to America in the early 20th century, and is deeply tied to the revival of traditional Abruzzese music, the same movement that gave rise to the annual Maggiolata festival in nearby Ortona.
