Boromir's guess the famous game #74 [Giovanni Boccaccio is the famous person, LauraGrace wins!]


1. I'm thinking of some famous person, it can be a film actor, a philosopher, a president, a prime minister, a singer, fictional character, mafia man etc.
2. You need to ask me a yes or no question about this person, for example, "Is the person still alive?," "Does the person work in the entertainment industry?," any question you can think of that helps you to reveal the answer. The host answers with yes or no only.
3. Maximum 1 question and 1 guess per player per answer.
4. The winner can either start a new game or say "pass." In case of a pass, the OP gets to start another.
5. List of mystery persons

Laura wins again, this time with Giovanni Boccaccio, a Florentine writer who lived and worked at the tail end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance. Most famous for writing The Decameron, a collection of short stories that is actually one of my favorite books, a very interesting and often funny look at the world of the late Middle Ages.
