Santa Maria a Monte celebrates Blessed Diana Giuntini, born in the town in 1287 and who died before 1327, on Easter Monday. Her beatification is considered a product of popular devotion. Each year, around August, the town holds the Sagra della Patata Fritta, a fried potato festival, and its residents are nicknamed «patatai».
