But I noticed today that using Sans do not keep the italic style to the text. While Serif do.

I suppose I lack the italic file of the sans font.
How do I correct that, or replace the font with a complete set.

(I would like to avoid embedding a custom font in the epub just for the sake of the pdf conversion)

Thank you for your help
Try your PDF on the device. (and with a real PDF viewer)

Basic Font support is mainly from the device
Bold and Italic (of a default font face) seem pretty basic to me

BTW your EPUB did pass validation? (sans?)
font-family: sans-serif;
