Our September 2001 visit to Lu Lette got a bad
start when our rental car broke down the first day...we pulled in in front
of the Lu Grezz restaurant, where the proprietor, Davide Toppi, called a
mechanic who pronounced the car dead. A tow truck carted it away,
and took us to Pescara for another. Davide was a big help - grazie,
Davide! |

Davide Toppi, proprietor of Lu Grezz' restaurant,
in the lower part of Lettomanoppello. 'Lu Grezz' is dialect and
means a person who is boisterous, loud. |

View of Lu Grezz; it is located in the lower part
of the town. While the building appears large, some of it is the
residence of the family. |

Clothing boutique next to The
Bomboniere. |

The Bomboniere sells gifts and flowers in the
lower part of town, near the 'bivio' or junction of the road to Lu Lette
with the road to Manoppello. |

Above: The Region has been installing signs
as part of its campaign to increase tourism in Abruzzo. This
signpost is on the mountainside in Lu Lette, above the town, marking
Sentiero 5 (footpath 5), which leads through an area known as Costa
dell'Avignone to the Fosso S. Michele Arcangelo, the ravine where an
ancient hermitage was located.
Right: The original 12th -
13th century statue of San Michele. Originally located in the cave in
Fosso S. Michele Arcangelo where the hermitage once stood, it is now at
the Museum of the Abruzzese People in Pescara. A copy of the statue
is in the cave now. |

Otello Di Mastrantonio, barber and proprietor of
the barbershop 'Otello Acconciatore' on via Silvo Pellico near the
municipio. His 'victim' posing for this picture is Antonio Di Lisio,
who very helpfully introduced us to his Cardinale in-laws who run
shops on via Cairoli. September 2001 |
