The LVF - Marco Polo bis Poleni were steam locomotives of the Lombard-Venetian Ferdinand Railway (LVF), a private Austrian-Hungarian railway company .
The four locomotives were delivered to the LVF by the Vienna – Gloggnitz Railway machine factory in 1847. They were given the names "MARCO POLO", "SCALIGERO", "BERICO" and "POLENI". The Southern Railway Company (SB) took these locomotives in its inventory as a series of 23 I . In 1867 the four locomotives came to Strade Ferrate Alta Italia (SFAI), which assigned them the numbers 801-804 and sold them in 1872.
According to a hypothesis that can no longer be proven historically, these four locomotives are identical to those described under WRB - Fahrafeld to Felixdorf . If this hypothesis is correct, there would also have been 1A1 machines of the same name, which were delivered to the LVF by the machine factory of the Vienna – Gloggnitzer Bahn in 1847 together with those described under LVF - Adda to Alpone . After they were taken out of service before 1862, the machines described here would have received the names with a second occupation after they had been transferred to the Italian-South Tyrolean network by the SB.
