This is a "half solution": the link is correct but not the title of the page it refers to: italics do not appear in the title of the page.

This is the expected behavior. The page title is unformatted text.

It is possible to remove the page title (cf. Wikipedia [[Main Page]]) and then stick a

= Contenu de la ''Lilavati'' =

at the top of the article.

Currently page titles can't contain any formatting, or many special symbols. This has been discussed on this list before and the general consensus seemed to be that allowing the capitalisation of the first letter to be specified, and allowing italics would be improvements. However, nothing has yet been implemented AFAIK.

There is an option of alternative titles in MediaWiki, but this option is disabled on Wikimedia sites (IIANM). But some wikis use CSS+JavaScript workarounds for that, see e.g. http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Titolo_errato a similar trick could be used for italics.
