tl;dr tw child abuse
From a young age he chose to see the world as something he could poke fun at and if not the world itself he was only too happy to volunteer himself to be the butt of the joke. He clung to humour as a way to cope but also as a way to ensure he became nothing like his father.
When he was six Enzo hit him hard enough to send him tumbling down the stairs, fracturing his spine in several places. He went through several operations and extensive rehabilitation.
For the longest time he only dreamed about putting as much space between himself and New York as he possibly could, wanting very little to do with The Mob.
He took a place at Stanford just to appease his father enough to let him fly across the country. His plan from there had been to go pro, make his own money so he didn't need to ask anything of Enzo Caravelli again.
The injury that he'd sustained as a child seemed healed until he took a particularly nasty tackle within his first year playing at college. The damage Enzo had done all those years ago leading to him being even more vulnerable to a repeat injury.
After his pipe dream of playing pro came crashing down and being subjected to months of gruelling recovery for the second time in his life, Romeo couldn't bring himself to head home. Instead he went travelling for a few years, not caring if it drove the rift further.
But the distance brought with it some kind of perspective and he returned home, figuring that everything he went through as a child had to mean something. So he joined The Mob, starting low but asking his brother to help him work his way up.
The decision was made to attend Columbia, just as his siblings had, to get his degree before heading to Wall Street, Nico's guidance and a relatively natural aptitude meaning he was good at his job.
His rise to Capo might be fresh, stepping up after his brother' rose to Don, but the change hasn't brought a struggle with it. His brother taught him too well for that. There's no mourning for his father, only resolve to do what's best for his siblings.
Personality
For most of his life Romeo has played the clown, turning any situation into a joke wherever he can. Despite attempting to move through life with a little more gravitas, so he can be taken more seriously within his role in The Mob, years of this still linger. Whenever things get a little too emotionally charged he will resort to humour, unable to deal with things any other way. He's generally easy going and affable, happy to make friends or at least play nice with whoever he comes into contact with. There's still a deep need for attention and recognition from others, which lead to him doing outlandish things when he was younger but now he's trying a different tact of trying to be what people want him to be.
Headcanons
After his traveling he has vague approximate knowledge of a lot of things but somehow always manages to relay the facts just slightly wrong.
His back still pains him more often than not, with him self medicating with alcohol to manage the pain. He's happy to play the role of someone who doesn't take life too seriously if it allows him to keep up this ruse.
Is predictably a lover of action films but as a lover of love, he's also a sucker for a good romcom, regularly watching the Hallmark channels on nights he hasn't got any better offers.
He lives up to his name - Romeo by name, Romeo by nature - and is guaranteed to be infatuated with someone at all times. The feeling never lasts though, usually burning so fast it burns out within a few weeks.
Lost almost all interest in football after he withdrew from college, not even paying attention to the professional game anymore. He follows basketball instead now.
