In 2025 the Italian art magazine Artribune{{Cite web |date=2025-05-09 |title=Cesare Magni il possibile artista della cappella di San Galdino vicino Milano |url=https://www.artribune.com/arti-visive/2025/05/cesare-magni-san-galdino/ |access-date=2025-05-13 |work=Artribune |language=it-IT}} published an article in which it is hypothesized that a small chapel near Milan, San Galdino in Zelo Surrigone, built within 1518, may have been Cesare Magni's first work. Proof of that could be the Magni coat of arms painted in the frescoed vault.
