Asterisks appearing instead of italics in browser page title

[zsofiaj]

Before proceeding, make sure there isn’t an existing issue for this bug.

• I have searched the existing issues and determined this is a new bug.

Expected Behavior

In the browser page title, I expect italicized text, such as titles of works, to appear in italics.

Actual Behavior

Text that should be italicized, such as titles of works, appears with asterisks in the page title at the top of the browser, above the url.

Steps to Reproduce

Step 1: Go to any catalogue entry in our project, for example:
https://italian-paintings-live.netlify.app/catalogue/volume-1/other-tuscan-schools/71/

Step 2: At the top of the browser window, above the url, the page title should show the title of the object in italics, but it shows up with asterisks. This might only be visible if you open a fresh window, with only a single tab.
