Ha! I guess they were more thinking of the extremely toxic plant by the same name that is native to Europe, used to be used in cosmetics and if memory serves me was also used as a poison in one of Agatha Christie's novels. Still kind of an odd choice for a name, but a different kind of odd.
Or maybe they were just going for the literal meaning in Italian ("beautiful woman"). Who knows…
OP, congrats! Enjoy your beautiful M3 comp!
