CNA Rimini Brings Its Artisans to Handsome

What the collaboration between CNA Rimini and Handsome means

In short: CNA Rimini has chosen to promote Handsome, the Italian marketplace for artisan workshops, to its member artisans. Member artisans publish their studio experiences — ceramics, cooking, mosaic, dressmaking, woodworking — on Handsome, get found and booked online, and receive their earnings through direct payouts, without paying any commission on workshops. On top of that, they earn a "CNA Member" badge on their public profile, a visible trust signal for anyone looking for an authentic experience in Romagna.

CNA — the National Confederation of Crafts (Confederazione Nazionale dell'Artigianato) of Rimini — remains the association that supports and promotes its members; the experience and the brand of the workshops stay with the artisan and with Handsome. There are no "CNA-branded workshops": there is the workshop studio, there is the person who tells its story through an experience, and there is a showcase that helps people discover it.

What a Rimini artisan gets on Handsome

Signing up means having a professional showcase inside a marketplace built for the best artisans, not for the lowest price. In practical terms, every member gets:

• A public profile with photos, the story of the workshop studio, verified reviews and a calendar of available dates.
• A place in the marketplace: the workshops appear among the experiences that customers and tourists search for in Romagna. You can already browse the artisan workshops to see how yours will look.
• Managed bookings and payments: the customer books and pays online, and the artisan receives the earnings through a direct payout.
• The "CNA Member" badge, shown on the profile after verification.

For a Rimini studio, all of this comes down to one simple thing: being found by someone searching for a ceramics workshop in Rimini or a cooking class in Romagna at the very moment they are ready to book.

0% commission on workshops: how it really works

This is the point that makes the collaboration different. Handsome takes no percentage of the workshop earnings: the commission is 0%. The big experience platforms take up to around 20% of the price; here the artisan keeps the full value of their own work.

The platform sustains itself with a small booking Guarantee paid by the customer, equal to €0.49 per seat — not with commissions on your earnings. The workshop payment reaches the artisan through a direct payout via Stripe: no middleman taking the lion's share.

The "CNA Member" badge: visible trust

Anyone booking an artisan experience wants to know they are trusting a genuine professional. The "CNA Member" badge on the public profile is exactly that: a sign of belonging to a recognised trade association, shown only after membership status has been verified.

It is not a marketing label, it is a confirmation of identity and reliability. It helps customers choose with more confidence and lets the artisan stand out alongside fellow makers in the area.

How to get started, step by step

Setting up the profile is simple and requires no technical skills. The CNA Rimini member artisan:

• Creates their showcase and tells the story of the workshop studio.
• Publishes one or more workshops with dates, seats and price, in their own studio.
• Receives bookings and gets paid through a direct payout, with no commission.
