Both of your sources are probably right.
I have a copy of a document associated with a crest that was brought to the U.S. in the late 1890's by an uncle of a 90-year old Sansone who lives in Los Angeles that says:
I have a copy of a document associated with a crest that was brought to the U.S. in the late 1890's by an uncle of a 90-year old Sansone who lives in Los Angeles that says:"Sansone is a very old Italian name that goes back to one who served under the Emperor Onorio. His son was Adriano who lived in Milan."
"Sansone is a very old Italian name that goes back to one who served under the Emperor Onorio. His son was Adriano who lived in Milan.""From this lineage two branches of Sansone's evolved; one in Cipri (near Palermo, Sicily) and the second in Mazzara, Sicily, headed by Giangeronimo Sansone, who was a Milanese and the son of Ambrogio Sansone who was an advisor (or agent) of the Emperor Charles V of Spain,the visitor general of the realm of 1536."

He had a son named Diego who was the Baron of Scannatura in 1634 and a member of the Province of Palermo senate in 1716. This branch continued with the Baronessa Luisa, widow of Groesseomann"

"The second branch was in the Duchy of Gallizia, where they were commonly called the Dukes of Sansone"I have been unable to find anything that covers the period 1716 - 1813.My great grandfather, Filippo was born aound 1813 and verbal family history says that both he and his son Giovanni (b.1853) each had several brothers, but I have not been able to positively identify any of them, except the possibility that one of my great-grandfather Filippo's brothers was an Anthony because he had a son born the same year, 1853, as my grandfather,Giovanni, and who was also named Giovanni.

S. Sansone's evolved from those brothers.
I am convinced that most of the U. S. Sansone's evolved from those brothers.Many U. S. Sansone's ancestors came from the city of Termini Imerese, which is a short
distance from the City of Palermo. Some also came from Naples.

The given names Anthony, Philip, Giuseppi, Andrew, Franceso, Ignazio, Salvatore keep popping up but without birth years, so it hasn't been possible to make positive connections. Making it more difficult is that the keeping of birth records did not start in Sicily until 1820 .

They are handwritten in Italian and very difficult to read.

Until I started the research as a hobby I didn't have the slighest idea of my great grandfather's name, or birth date, and I suspect that is the case with most people.
The clue that helped me the most was the tradition of assigning given names, which I mentioned in my original post.

Would appreciate your e-mailing me whatever you have on your family. one of these days the pieces are all going to fall into place.
