Question: What region of northern Italy was Guido Romano born in?
Context: Bassano del Grappa (Venetian: "Basan" /baˈsaŋ / (plain form) or "Bassan"/"Bassàn" (italianized form)) is a city and "comune", in the Vicenza province, in the region Veneto, in northern Italy.  It bounds the communes of Cassola, Marostica, Solagna, Pove del Grappa, Romano d'Ezzelino, Campolongo sul Brenta, Conco, Rosà, Cartigliano and Nove.  Some neighbourhoods of these communes have become in practice a part of the urban area of Bassano, so that the population of the whole urban area is higher than the population of Bassano proper. Guido Guinizelli (c. 1230–1276), born in Bologna, in present-day Emilia-Romagna, Northern Italy, was an Italian poet and 'founder' of the Dolce Stil Novo.  He was the first to write in this new style of poetry writing, and thus is held to be the "ipso facto" founder. Guido Romano (31 January 1888 - 18 June 1916) was an Italian gymnast who competed in the 1908 Summer Olympics and in the 1912 Summer Olympics.  He was born in Modena and died during World War I as a result of the Battle of Asiago. Romano d'Ezzelino is a small city with 14,645 residents in the Veneto region of northern Italy.  It lies in the foothills of Monte Grappa and is located among some hills and country.  The name "Romano" comes from "Arimanno", a Longobardian word that means "military settlement".  "Ezzelino" refers to the family of "Ezzelini", who moved to Romano in 1199. Modena (] ; Etruscan: "Mutna"; ; Modenese: "Mòdna") is a city and "comune" (municipality) on the south side of the Po Valley, in the Province of Modena in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy. Romano (Italian: "Stazione di Romano" ) is a railway station serving the town of Romano di Lombardia, in the region of Lombardy, northern Italy.  The station is located on the Milan–Venice railway.  The train services are operated by Trenord. The Cavallo Romano della Maremma Laziale, or "Roman horse of the part of the Maremma that is in Lazio", is a horse breed native to the Lazio region of Italy.  An ancient breed, it was officially recognised only in 2010; it is now one of the fifteen indigenous horse "breeds of limited distribution" listed by the AIA, the Italian breeders' association.  The Lazio region has assigned it the conservation status "at risk of erosion".  The population numbers about 800, of which most are in the comune of Monte Romano in the province of Viterbo; a herd of approximately 200 is at Ponzano Romano in the province of Rome, and others are in the province of Rieti. Northern Italy (Italian: Italia settentrionale or just Nord ) is the northern part of Italy.  It is a geographical region and hence without any administrative function, and consists of eight regions in northern Italy: Aosta Valley, Piedmont, Liguria, Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, and Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol.  As of 2014, its population was 27,801,460.  For statistic purposes, the Istituto Nazionale di Statistica (ISTAT) uses the terms Northwest Italy and Northeast Italy for two of Italy's five statistical regions in its reporting.  These same subdivisions are used to demarcate first-level Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) regions ("NUTS 1 regions") within the European Union, and the Italian constituencies for the European Parliament. The County of Guastalla was a sovereign state of northern Italy centred on Guastalla.  The title of count was created in 1406 for Guido Torelli: the Torelli family ruled Guastalla until 1539, when it was purchased by Ferrante Gonzaga, while another branch held the County of Montechiarugolo, which was created from a split in the county in 1456, until 1612.  Ferrante's descendants ruled the country until 1746, being raised to the title of Duke in 1621.  Duke Giuseppe Maria died heirless in 1746 and the country was briefly incorporated into Austrian Lombardy. The Italian war of 1536-1538 was a conflict between King Francis I of France and Charles V, King of Spain and Holy Roman Emperor.  The objective was to achieve control over territories in Northern Italy, in particular the Duchy of Milan.  The war saw French troops invading Northern Italy, and Spanish troops invading France.  The Truce of Nice, signed on June 18, 1538, ended hostilities, leaving Turin in French hands but affecting no significant change in the map of Italy.  Overall, Spain increased its control over Italy, signifying the end of Italian independence.  The war strengthened animosity between the Spanish and French, and reinforced ties between France and the Ottoman Empire which had sided with Francis I against Charles V.
