# Madaudo | Art

> Official site of Beppe Madaudo (b. Palermo 1950), Italian contemporary painter. Catalogue of works (opere), biography, exhibitions (mostre), projects (progetti), comics & illustrations (fumetti e illustrazioni), news & interviews, and bibliography.

All Italian post-type slugs (mostre, opere, progetti, fumetti-illustrazioni, news, bibliografia, riconoscimenti, biografia, galerie, contatti) remain unchanged in the English tree — only the `/en/` prefix is added.

Primary stakeholder: Beppe Madaudo (artist). Site built by CiMa Progetti on a custom WordPress theme — no third-party SEO plugin is installed; meta tags, JSON-LD, and this file are emitted by the theme itself.
