How can I recover the italic style in equations with TeX Gyre Pagella Math font?

I'm currently preparing figures with matplotlib and I have set the font to Tex Gyre Pagella by modifying my .mplstyle file. Everything is now rendered using the font, but the symbols in equations do not appear italicized.

I added the following lines to my .mplstyle file:

font.family: TeX Gyre Pagella
mathtext.fontset: custom
mathtext.rm: TeX Gyre Pagella Math
mathtext.it: TeX Gyre Pagella Math
mathtext.bf: TeX Gyre Pagella Math

If I now do something like

plt.plot([1, 2, 3], [1, 4, 9])
plt.xlabel(r"$\omega$")

then the x label is correctly in the font that was specified, but not italicized. As though the symbols in TeX Gyre Pagella Math were not italic.

I have previously used these fonts to generate documents with LaTeX using

\usepackage{unicode-math}
\defaultfontfeatures{Scale=MatchLowercase}
\setmainfont{texgyrepagella-regular.otf}[
    BoldFont       = texgyrepagella-bold.otf ,
    ItalicFont     = texgyrepagella-italic.otf ,
    BoldItalicFont = texgyrepagella-bolditalic.otf ]
\setmathfont{texgyrepagella-math.otf}

with symbols properly slanted. Is there a way to achieve this in matplotlib (version 3.8.0) as well?
