LVCI 79-90 were a group of 2-4-0 steam locomotives of the LVCI, a private company of Austria-Hungary. The 12 Locomotives were supplied by Koechlin in 1858. They were very similar to LCVI 51-60.

Names

The locomotives were named: Paisiello, Ariosto, Tasso, Petrarca, Raffaello, Michelangelo, Giotto, Cimabue, Bramante, Torricelli, Oriani, Cavalli

Ownership changes

The Sudbahn took 10 of these 12 Locomotives, calling them Group SB 5. The "Ariosto" and "Raffaello" remained with the LVCI. They later became SFAI 381-382, RM 2019-2020 and FS 1181-1182.
