Trivia About Sandro Botticelli:

- Botticelli was said to be a great practical joker. He would enlist the cooperation of others in order to make the jokes seem all the more real. One such practical joke involved one of his pupils named Biagio. Botticelli enlisted the help of a patron who bought a piece of artwork, and together they changed the picture so that it was different each time Biagio saw it...Biagio thought that he must be mad.

- Botticelli once had "neighbor" problems and he dealt with the situation in a unique way. The neighbor was a weaver and when he moved next door to Botticelli, he installed several large and noisy looms. They were so noisy that Botticelli found it very difficult to work. He approached his neighbor and asked him to remedy this somehow, but the neighbor told Botticelli that he could do as he wished in his own home. Botticelli decided to remedy things himself....he built a very large, high wall between their homes and then he placed a large and seemingly unstable rock on top of the wall. When his neighbor expressed concern that the rock might fall on his home, Botticelli responded that he could do as he wished in his own home as well. They came to an amicable agreement.
