Giovanni Villani recognized the dal Bagno, called the Bagnesi, as the chief family of the sesto di San Piero Scheraggio. They were branded as magnates in 1293 and again in 1295, but returned to popolani status and were seated in the priorate eighteen times starting on January 1st, 1347, representing the Leon Nero district of the Santa Croce quarter. They held patronage rights to their parish church of San Remigio.

[a] Though it is not known how the Bagnesi marked the high altar as under their patronage, Rosselli describes their coat of arms painted and sculpted in numerous places in the high altar chapel, which likely included decoration on the altar itself. The family went extinct when Senator Giuliano Bagnesi died in the early seventeenth century, but their coat of arms remains in a few places in the cappella maggiore and on the eastern nave piers.
