San Gimignano. It's harder to say than to spell, and easier to visit and love. It's pronounced San - Jim - in - gna - noh
The town is in the heart of Tuscany. The views are all around you, over a mixture of highly cultivated and cured olive grove, vineyards, crops of sunflowers, and wild forests off to the West. The town is famous for many things: medieval towers, Venaccia white wine, saffron production, wild boar sausages, and it's architectual perfection.
The Town Hall at San Gimignano is in the center of the famous medieval village. The town is still closed to traffic, and in the winter months, only the locals inhabit the sleepy back streets.
The Palazzo Comunale, where the wedding takes place, is reached through an open courtyard, next to the frescoed Duomo. The Sala Dante is a peaceful large room, with beutifully restored frescoes, suitable for a wedding party of just a few guests, up to a larger, 100 guest wedding party.
