I was wondering if the Utena manga was ever serialized in a magazine, and which magazine if it was.

I'm not absolutely sure, but I remember reading an interview with Chiho Saito when she said that the 5-volume Utena seres was printed in a magazine aimed at younger girls, and so she couldn't put in the sexual themes that she and the rest of Be-Papas expected to put in.

Given that Sho-Comi can be pretty darned sexual (it's where Mayu Shinjo series are published), my guess is that the series was published in Chao or one of Chao's sister magazines.

In Japan, it originally serialized in a magazine called Kappa Extra. Here, Animerica Extra.

Nooo... Kappa Extra's the Italian magazine that it was serialized in.

According to this page, it was indeed serialized in Ciao.

It's worth noting that Ciao is a manga phonebook aimed at elementary school girls. ^^
