Data from "Locomotives", Type 33, Usines du Creusot-Schneider et Cie (Creusot: A Temporal, 1875), n.a.; . See also Wallace S Jones, Consul-General, "Railways in Europe-Italy", Consular Reports: Commerce, manufactures, etc, Volume XLVI [46],, Issue 170 (November 1894), pp. 331-362 (Italy report dated 25 September 1894). Works numbers were 333-352 in 1858.
The Kingdom of Lombardy was part of the Austrian Empire when the Milan-Venetian was awarded a royal grant in 1840 to connect Milan and Venice. Although work was begun in Venetian territory, nothing had happened in Lombardy when the stock crashed during a financial crisis.
At that point, Austria created state railways, and declared that it would take over the Milan-Venetian if the private company couldn't complete the line. In 1852, it was clear that the Kingdom had to act on its threat. Four years later the government concluded a 90-year lease to the Messrs. Rothschild, Duke of Galliera & Company which formed the Lombard-Venetian.
This batch of locomotives were among the first, if not the first, to be purchased by the L-V. (NB: This design may have used Imperial measurements in its original specfications. The 47.5 mm in Schneider's diagram seems to refer to the tubes' inside (fire side) diameters. Substituting 52.5 mm (2.067") as an outside diameter establishes a nearly exact match) with the diagram's given evaporative heating surface area.)
The Second Italian War of Independence, fought in 1859 ended at the Battle of Solferino, led to Austria's cession of much of the Piemontese to France, who in turn gave it to the Kingdom of Sardinia. The Unification of Italy in 1860 e LV in the
