I am not Francesco (??) > Take 2 DQs. Kinda think I should get either one or three; IQ1 was Michael Faraday, IQ2 was Fra Angelico, and IQ3 was Fra Lippo Lippi. I leave it to the consensus of the community if Fra Angelico and Fra Lippo Lippo count as “F” names, since “Fra” is a title rather than a name, a point that had not occurred to me when I posted the IQs. But, that’s how they’re known. In the meantime, I’ll reserve the DQs in question, and ask just one: DQ: Italian? ---

I think you should get three. “Fra” is indeed how they’re known to English speakers like us. It would be roughly analogous to a question about Mahatma Gandhi or the Dalai Lama. Previous IQs: Were you RNC Chair in the 1980s? - Frank Fahrenkopf Were you known for your paintings of the Spanish royal court? - Yes, Francisco Goya Did you costar in _$ky Hei$t_? - Frank Gorshin DQ: Best known for religious art? Best known for a single painting? ---
