Especially in interpolated families, I think one can often talk about all the “italic” fonts in one statement, unless there are details that make them particularly important vis à vis the uprights.
For many type designers, the effort put into italics (plural fonts) is vastly disproportionate to their actual use by designers, typographers, other font users, etc.
