House of Borgia. title of Duke of Romagna is part of "Mayorazgo" instituted by Pope Alexander VI (Rodrigo Borgia).
The Peace of Cateau-Cambrésis divided Romagna between the Farnese family, the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza, the House of Este of Ferrara, the Duchy of Modena and Reggio, and the Papal States, this last remained with most part of Romagna and with the total authority inside Papal States. In 1860 and inside mark of Kingdom of Italy, Pope Pius IX delivered Romagna like a province. However, after joining the unification of Italy in 1860, Romagna did not receive a separate status by the Savoy monarchs, who were afraid of dangerous destabilization. In the present day the region of the ancient dukedom of Romagna is part of Emilia-Romagna inside the Republic of Italy.
According to the laws of the Italian Republic, the titles of nobility of Italy ceased to exist with the fall of the monarchical regime.
