Bold of you to assume Nonno Rome was brave and Italies are not, because just imagine him in 219 b.C. when some elephants randomly crossed the Alps, invading his land.
Even the aliens in Egypt heard him screaming

Romano looks in the mirror and sees his father. He can see him in his curls, in the color of his eyes, in the way that it looks when he smiles. He sees him in the way that he moves and hears him in the sound of his voice. Rome’s memory rests in his appearance.
And it tears him apart. His complex feelings about his father wear him down and often leave him crying and tearing apart all proof that he ever was tied to him. Feliciano embodies his personality, but Lorenzo is cursed with being the spitting image of him.
He hates looking in the mirror because it serves as a reminder of all that he has failed to accomplish and all that he feels he can never really amount to. He doesn’t want his father’s greatness, he isn’t sure what he would do with it. But it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t feel the failure of living up to his image breathing on his neck.
He can see the ghost of him following him in his day to day - disappointed at all he has managed to keep for himself. Perhaps even wondering how they could be related. At least, that’s what he thinks when he thinks of his father watching over him. He can’t imagine there’s a thing about him that makes his father proud.
He wonders if he will ever be able to do anything that would make him proud. But those thoughts are reserved for when he’s alone and away from everyone else in the world. When he can curl up in bed and try not to dwell on the crushing weight of it all. They’ll never reach the outside world.
The prince who looks like the king. The father and the son. Lorenzo is his father’s son and he cannot bear to be reminded of it.

Romano: Think, what would Grandpa Rome do in this situation?
Roman Empire: [in Romano′s mind] Bye, grandson!
Romano: I’m beginning to think I have issues.
