There are, strictly speaking (some typographer correct me please if I am wrong), no italic sans serif fonts, but only slanted sans serif fonts.
You're wrong. There are now plenty of true italic (i.e. cursive) sans serif fonts; it has been a couple of decades at least since obliqued roman went out of style for sans serif typefaces. Type designers at first introduced cursive forms into sans serif type cautiously (see, for example Hans Eduard Meier's Syntax italic, which is humanist but with a two-storey a and other features from the roman), but now it is typical to see sans serif italics completely implementing the range of letterforms normal to cursive italics. See, for some good examples
