Romano d'Ezzelino is a town in the province of Vicenza, Veneto, Italy. Located on the slopes of Monte Grappa, it is reached by the SP74 provincial road.
Starting from 1199, when Ezzelino II's castle at Onara was destroyed, it was the seat of the Ezzelini family. The Col Bastia, a hill in the commune, is mentioned by Dante Alighieri in his Paradise, in the words of Cunizza da Romano. A tower there is the only remain of the medieval fortress of the Ezzelini. Other sights include the Ca' Cornaro, a Renaissance villa (with later modifications) in a 19th-century park.
