Besides, Fioretta was the Girl who knew da Vinci, and Angela was a reincarnation of Fioretta, so it works for me.

As the real Fioretta and the Medici family were known to Da Vinci, I can understand why it would be in the title.cristinaro wrote: ↑04 Jun 2018, 07:57You may be right about that, but think of the resemblance between the cover of this book and that of Dan Brown's book. Such a resemblance coupled with da Vinci's name in the title induces the idea that the two books are similar. In this case, fans of Dan Brown would be quick to check it out. I did the same only to discover they are completely different in terms of the writing style as well as character and plot development. This is the reason why I called it a potential marketing strategy and I wondered whether it was ethical or not.Dael Reader wrote: ↑03 Jun 2018, 10:00 I wouldn't say there's anything unethical about it. The name is in the title because the "alleged" missing painting by da Vinci is a thread that holds the storylines together.

The book is literally about a supposed missing da Vinci, and it was painted by da Vinci for Fioretta (the girl who knew da Vinci, literally) which also reincarnated into Sophia and Angela. The whole plot of the book was about Angela and her reincarnations finding the lost da Vinci. The title just makes sense with what the book is about.
Also with those of you saying the title is misleading due to other books and titles, the author does state that her book is inspired by The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown and The Art Forger by B. A. Shapiro. So she did give them recognition.
Therefore, whether or not it is a marketing tactic is irrelevant.
