What is "botticelli"

Botticelli is a guessing game which requires the players to have a good knowledge of biographical details of famous people. The game has several variants, but the common theme is that one person or team thinks of a famous person, reveals their initial letter, and then answers yes/no questions to allow other players to guess the identity.

The game takes its name from the famous person having to be at least as famous as Sandro Botticelli, who is also the answer to the archetypal question, "Did you paint a picture of Venus rising?", referring to his painting The Birth of Venus.

Botticelli is a one-act play written by Terrence McNally, initially broadcast on television in 1968.

Botticelli is a crater on Mercury. It has a diameter of 143 kilometers. Its name was adopted by the International Astronomical Union in 1979. Botticelli is named for the Italian painter Sandro Botticelli, who lived from 1445 to 1510.
