The patron saint of Hône is Saint George, celebrated on 23 April in the parish church dedicated to him, with its tall bell tower, flanked by the 16th-century public crier's stand. Nearby stands the Marelli palace: the municipal coat of arms, which depicts the patron saint, combines in its upper field the blazon of the noble Marelli family, originally from Maglione in the Canavese, granted the title of counts of Hône in 1684, and the mark of the Gossweiler nail factory, recalling the town's modern industrialisation, heir to a local metalworking tradition dating back to the Middle Ages.
During the Middle Ages Hône was part of the domains of the Lordship of Bard, vassals of the Vallaise and Savoy families; the route of the Aosta Valley's Via Francigena still passes through the municipal territory today, coming from Verrès and Arnad and heading towards Bard and Donnas after crossing the bridge over the Dora Baltea. In 2015 an archaeological excavation downstream from the municipal cemetery, near the church of San Giorgio, brought to light fragments of protohistoric pottery, evidence of successive reoccupations of the site between the Iron Age and the Roman era. On 8 December, the Feuhta de la micóoula is also celebrated, the feast of the traditional local sweet bread, recognised as a traditional food product since 2011.
