December Botticelli

Thread Games
1

Hello everyone, and welcome to a new round of Botticelli - for new players, the rules can be found here, some points that have been previously clarified are:

  • Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi, better known as Sandro Botticelli would have the letter “S” or “B”, but not A, M, V, F or D.
  • For the purposes of answering DQs Sitting Bull’s first name is Sitting and his last name is Bull
  • John Calvin Coolidge is a C, not a J. Stephen Grover Cleveland is a G or a C, not an S. Thomas Woodrow Wilson is a W, not a T
  • There are people with a name like “Alessandro di Mariano” who would come under “di Mariano” in standard reference works and count as having a “D name”. I’m not too clear on the criteria - would Leonardo da Vinci count as having a “D name”?

Round starts, my letter is U
