I'm Italian born and bred, and I've never heard it used as a person's name. It's the Italian word for the city Rome and would be considered quite odd as a person's name. Same for any other city name.

Romola is probably used, but is very uncommon. Romolo is slightly more common but mainly amongst older people. Romolo is obviously related to Roma because according to the legend he founded the city and gave it its name, though probably it's the other way around and the name of Rome has a different etymology.
