The interior of San Miniato has a central nave and side aisles, and a traditional wooden beamed ceiling.
Steps lead to a balcony above the altar which has a mosaic of Christ Pantocrator.
Below the altar area are steps leading down to a crypt which houses the tomb of St.Miniato, for whom the church is named.
In this image, the Nave of San Miniato is decorated very simply for a wedding.
Guests at Italian weddings generally gather outside the church, and wait for the arrival of the bride and her father.
The bride and her father process down the aisle, followed by the wedding guests.
Quite often, in Italian weddings, bridal attendants are few, and dressed generally in dressy street clothes,
unlike American weddings where there are frequently multiple bridesmads and groomsmen formally dressed ,
who precede the bride in the ceremony, and wedding guests who are seated before the ceremony.
In Italy, It is generally acceptable for casual tourists to watch the proceedings prior to the wedding.
