His father was Giuseppe and his mother Paolina Depangher was from Vienna. The family may have been involved in salt extraction from sea water. Romeo was the eldest of a family of five children.

He first trained as an architect in Vienna and then he attended the Regia Scuola di Viticoltura ed Enologia in Conegliano between 1879 & 1883. Conegliano is in the heart of the Veneto wine growing region. In his last year at Conegliano he gave two addresses, the first on 7 January 1883 on the previous harvest on the islands of Quarnaro & Dalmazia, and the second on 11 February 1884,discussed his findings on crop rotation. Bragato graduated in 1883 with the Diploma R.S.S.V.OE and returned to Lussin Piccolo where he was oenologist at the Istrian Association of Agriculture and later viticulturist and cellarmaster for the Gerolimiche brothers.
