If the artist (or the graphician that made the cover art) makes a spelling
error we correct it, unless it is an "deliberate" mistake.

I think you should use the most appropriate spelling. I'll keep on fixing
all the releases where Italian words are misspelt or wrote with the wrong
accent, regardless of what is written on the back cover. I wonder why I
should not fix releases titles like "Cosi fan tutte" (they all do things)
that are supposed to be spelt "Così fan tutte" (thus do they all). :)
