Romano developed an early interest in music listening to old jazz musicians like Charlie Parker, Sonny Stitt, Cannonball Adderley, Lou Donaldson, Sonny Rollins, Hank Mobley, Dexter Gordon, John Coltrane and many others.
In 2004 he moved to Bern, where he studied for one year with George Robert and for another with Andy Scherrer at the Swiss Jazz School.
At this time he used to play in a quartet with his brother Alessandro on piano, Thomas Dürst on bass and Ueli Müller on drums and he took part in several jazz projects.
In February 2008 he released his first album entitled "Remembering Bird - A Tribute to Charlie Parker", which he recorded at the Radio DRS Studio 2 with the great bassist Giorgos Antoniou, Alessandro Ricciardi and two musicians from the UK: Steve Brown (drummer Scott Hamilton quartet) and Steve Fishwick (trumpet – played with Anita ‘O Day, Cedar Walton etc.).
Romano played in several Jazzclubs, like Moods Zürich, Mehrspur, "Isebähndli" Baden, Jazzclub Thalwil, Chorus Lausanne, Jazzkantine Luzern, Jazznojazz festival and performed with the Swiss All-Star-Big-Band 2009 (Guillermo Klein).
