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 Südbahn 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.
