The Romagnolo or Asino Romagnolo is an Italian breed of donkey. It originates in, and is named for, the region of Emilia-Romagna in northern Italy.[3]: 23 [2] It is raised mainly in the province of Forlì-Cesena, but also in the Metropolitan City of Bologna and in the provinces of Ravenna and Reggio Emilia.[4]: 170  It is one of the eight autochthonous donkey breeds of limited distribution recognised by the Ministero dell'Agricoltura, della Sovranità Alimentare e delle Foreste, the Italian ministry of agriculture and forestry.[3]: 23  The conservation status of the Romagnolo was listed as "critical" by the FAO in 2007.[1]: 70  The Asino di Sant'Alberto is considered to form part of the breed.
