Romano Orsini

Romano Orsini (c. 1270–1326) was an Italian condottiero and the fourth count of Sovana, son of Gentile Orsini. In 1293, backed by Cardinal Matteo Orsini and Charles II of Anjou, he married Anastasia de Montfort, heiress through her father to Nola and, through her mother, to Sovana and Pitigliano.

The marriage made him count of Nola and Sovana and began the Orsini line of Pitigliano. In 1297 Pope Boniface VIII sent him against the Colonna, and in 1325 he became senator of Rome.
