根据 Peter Damian在罗穆亚去世约十五年后[4]冩的《 vita》, [5], 罗穆亚出生在意大利东北部的拉文纳,属于贵族奥涅斯蒂(Onesti)家族。他的父亲是Sergius degli Onesti,母亲是Traversara Traversari。

根据早期的记载,年轻时的罗穆亚沉迷于第十世纪贵族普遍性的俗世快乐和罪恶。二十岁时,他担任父亲的副手,然而父亲在财产决斗中杀死了一位亲戚,罗穆亚对自己目睹的罪行感到厌恶,于是前往圣阿波利纳里斯修道院(Saint Pollinare)为他的父亲进行四十天的忏悔。[6] 这 40 天的经历使罗穆亚成为圣阿波利纳里斯修道院的修道士,但严格的禁欲主义使他与其他一些修道士发生了冲突。于是罗穆亚离开拉文纳前往威尼斯,在那里成为隐士马里努斯的弟子。

拉文纳的圣罗慕亚于 1027 年 6 月 19 日在修道院的牢房内去世。教皇贵格利十三世于 1582 年册封他为圣人[2]
