Romanengo: an Italian municipality in the province of Cremona
Hello everyone! Today I will talk about Romanengo, a small Italian municipality located in the province of Cremona, in Lombardy. Romanengo, which is called "Rumanènch" in the local dialect, has about 3,179 inhabitants and is a city rich in history and traditions.
History
The history of Romanengo dates back many centuries, when the city was inhabited by ancient Celts. Subsequently, the territory was conquered by the Romans, who gave the city its name. Over the centuries, Romanengo was dominated by various powers, including the Visconti and the Sforza. In the 19th century, the city experienced a phase of economic development thanks to the opening of the Lodi-Crema-Soncino tramway, which crossed the territory of Romanengo.

The coat of arms of Romanengo was granted in 1997. The banner is a yellow flag.
