The most demanding commission undertaken by Bambaia in the early years of his maturity was the monument to the French condottiere Gaston de Foix intended for Santa Marta, Milan. In 1517 he was working on the project with a number of assistants, but construction was interrupted owing to the difficulties of the French rulers of Milan, who had commissioned the project, and it was left unfinished when they abandoned the city in 1522. There are pieces of the monument in various collections (Ambrosiana, Milan; Museo Civico d'Arte Antica, Turin; Victoria and Albert Museum, London), but the nucleus, including the effigy, is in the Castello Sforzesco in Milan. A drawing in London (Victoria and Albert Museum) is generally agreed to show the plan of the Foix monument.
