The patron of Santa Maria a Monte is Blessed Diana Giuntini, a religious woman born in the town in 1287 and who died before 1327, celebrated on Easter Monday. Her beatification, venerated in the Diocese of San Miniato, is considered a product of popular devotion.
Each year, around August, the town holds the Sagra della Patata Fritta, and its residents are nicknamed «patatai». The town holds the Church of San Giovanni Evangelista e di Maria Vergine Assunta and the Oratory of the Madonna delle Grazie, as well as the archaeological area of La Rocca.
