When Wolfgang Lettl, in 1972, replied to a small advertisement in the Süddeutsche Zeitung in which a building plot near Manfredonia was offered for sale, he certainly did not imagine that the period he would spend there with his wife Francesca from 1973 to 2005 , he would become one of the happiest in his life for him.
Here, in the years 1975-1995, not only the impressionistic paintings were born, but, starting from 1986 also many of his surrealistic paintings.
Wolfgang Lettl: "We bought a piece of land in Siponto, in the Gulf of Manfredonia, directly on the sea, because according to my old geographical atlas it rains less than anywhere else, and we built a house there. There was a lot of work to do in the garden, because, at first, there were only thistles and other thorny things. In the house the walls were still empty. So I took my portable easel and went outside, painting the landscape: houses, trees, mountains, clouds, ships and the sea. Doing it is fun and really tiring. "
