The patroness of Nucetto is Saint Mary Magdalene (santa Maria Maddalena), celebrated on 22 July.
Nucetto is famous for its production of chickpeas, a legume that is the subject of two events during the year: the ceciata alla zingarella and the chickpea festival (festa del cece). The municipality also holds the Castello di Nucetto, the Cappella Santa Lucia and the Cappella Madonna della Neve at Costalunga.
