This really depends. Books normally have the book title in small print in the corner with the chapter title in bigger print in the centre of the page at the beginning of each chapter.
The nature of books is such that you almost inevitably see the cover of the book (which contains the title) before you ever look at the inside, so you don't necessarily need reminders of the title. On the other hand, web pages can expect many if not most visitors to reach any given page by direct links, skipping any material that might have given them an earlier clue to the title. So I'm not sure print is a good analogy for what we should do here.
Ok, i have better examples.
In any hierarchical file system there is a certain amount of logic having the filename, "Part 1" displayed in (slightly) bigger font than the path, "Principia Mathematica".
Other internet directories typically display the last part in bigger print. Open directory do this: http://www.google.com/Top/Regional/Europe/Italy/
