Romanowski was born in Żukow, Horodenka in what was then Austrian Poland on 12 April 1833.
He attended gymnasium in Stanisławów (now Ivano-Frankivsk), then studied law at the University of Lviv (1853-1857).
He became an employee of the Ossolineum in 1860 where he taught and worked on his writings. He also wrote articles for magazines Nowiny ("News"), "Literary Magazine," and Dzwonek ("The Bells"), a "magazine for the people". From 1862 he was involved in the underground resistance movement.
He was arrested in February 1863 by the Austrian authorities for his activities among the youth of Lviv.
After his release he joined the January Uprising and was appointed to the rank of captain and adjutant commander of the division commanded by Marcin Borel "Lelewel". Romanowski was killed during a skirmish with Russian forces at Józefów, Lublin Voivodeship, on 24 April 1863.
He was probably buried in the parish cemetery there along with the other insurgents who were killed.
