"Beppe" and the less used "Beppo" are both diminutives (not nicknames) of the popular (especially back in the day) biblical name Giuseppe. "Chicco" is an interesting case in Italian, as it is more of a nickname than a diminutive (hypocoristic, to be precise), and it can be used for the full names Francesco, Enrico, or Federico.
