On fact two italian surnames quite similar exist:

PONISSI
PONI

They are very local at the moment in Italy and extremely rare.
So especially Ponisi could be a wrong spelling of Ponissi

The surname Poni might derive from the forename Jacopo > Jacopone > Pone > surname Poni. None of this explains Ponisi, however.
