what do you mean 'romance'? a love story? an heroic chivalrous quest? or written in Italian/French/Spanish/Romanian?

whichever you mean, the answer is The Song of Roland

Aurelién by Louis Aragon. It's very good. Read it in French if you can, otherwise get the English translation, assuming English is your native language. It's very moving novel and perhaps too realistic. Aragon himself said it is about the impossibility of love. That's what the novel explores. It's a very moving and well-written novel.
