The Romagnola is an Italian breed of cattle from the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy. It belongs to the Podolic group of grey cattle. The cattle were used principally as draught beasts in the past; since the mechanisation of agriculture in the mid-twentieth century they have been bred primarily for beef production.
