Inspired by the ancient Roman bridges, especially the Fabricius Bridge and therefore built in tuff coated with brick and travertine

The original name was PONTE LITTORIO
Dedicated in the post-war period to the socialist deputy Giacomo Matteotti (1885/1924) kidnapped by Fascists thugs near the bridge in 1924 and later killed
