Bernardino da Polenta

Bernardino da Polenta (died 1314) was an Italian condottiero of the da Polenta family and the son of Guido I of Ravenna. He was podestà of Cervia in 1283 and helped his father establish the family's control over the city.

He fought over Cesena in 1302–1303, and in 1306, as podestà of Bologna, he rescued the papal legate during a revolt. In the war of 1308 he and his brother Lamberto took Ferrara from the Venetians for the pope and Francesco d'Este.

In 1312 he joined the Tuscan Guelphs and Robert of Anjou against Emperor Henry VII. He died in Florence while serving as podestà.
