The hand
behind it all
Christine Joan Johnson was born in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1963. She worked as an actress and a musician, was nominated for a David di Donatello in 2009, and at a certain point she stopped waiting for someone to give her a part.
From Kingston to New York, from New York to Romagna. In Rimini, a short walk from the Arch of Augustus, she found a house full of old things: furniture stacked up, two hundred chandeliers hanging from a corridor ceiling, thirty-five years of somebody else’s storage. She did not empty it. She opened it.
The name holds Rimini and Hollywood together. It is not a joke: Romagna produced Fellini and Tonino Guerra, and it keeps producing people who imagine faster than reality can keep up.
Riminiwood was born there, in the imperfection, in the faith, in the light that insisted on shining even when everything else was dark.

Two hundred
years of blocks
In Gambettola, half an hour from Rimini, there is a workshop that has printed with rust since 1826. Seven generations of the same family. An archive of hand-carved wooden blocks and colour recipes nobody ever wrote down. Tonino Guerra, Dario Fo and Tinin Mantegazza all passed through it.
For the bicentenary Christine asked to use those blocks on cloth cut today. The collection that came out of it walked on 1 August 2026, through a town centre that became an enchanted wood for one night.

The Heart Tree
Three hand-built trees: one for the soul, one for the mind, one for the body. Whoever walks in writes a message, closes it inside a red heart and hangs it. The second half of the work is finished by the visitors.
Light is born only when it is shared.
