The Ponte della Vittoria in Belluno was designed by engineer Eugenio Miozzi, along with Zampieri and architect Riccardo Alfare, and constructed between 1923 and 1926. The bridge formed part of the systematic reconstruction of infrastructure in the Veneto region following the destruction wrought during the First World War.
Miozzi, who had graduated from Bologna in 1912 and ranked first in his competitive examination for the Royal Corps of Civil Engineers, brought extensive experience to the project. After the war, he worked for the Civil Engineering office in Udine and Belluno, overseeing the reconstruction of numerous bridges damaged during the conflict. The Ponte della Vittoria represents one of his early major commissions in this reconstruction phase, executed before his appointment as head of the Venice Public Works and Services directorate in 1931.
