Spanish is more related to Italian even though the three of them come from Latin. The main reason is because French has also a lot of influence from the old languages in the North of Europe, that's why their pronunciation is way different than Italian and Spanish.

i think definitely to spanish...i learned spanish pretty fast only reading a couple of books helping myself with a dictionary and no school lessons at all. well i'm not telling you i talk as a native but well enough to understand well. moreover, even if the sound of the two languages is a bit different it's possible to find, in some italian dialects, terms that have the same meaning in spanish or lot italian words that are similar or have a similar meaning so that (even having studied french at school) i found spanish closely related to my language.

Italians and Spanish can understand each other much more easily than a French. Yes, Italian is much closer to spanish than french.

Spanish, because Italian-speakers can understand Spanish and Spanish-speakers can understand Italian. The same cannot be said for French and Italian.

probably neither...but spoken Italian resmbles Spanish a little more...that is, Italian speakers will likely understand Spanish to a larger extent than they will French. All the Romance languages are related (Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian) but those are the ones that sound the most alike, IMO.

As far as relations go in the family sense, Spanish, French and Italian are all sisters - they are daughter languges of Latin. However, like in most families, some kids look more like one sibling than another.
Spanish is more like Italian than French. Portugese is probably closer to French. Catalan is sort of in between Spanish and Italian and is probably closest to both.

The Italian language is very similar to Spanish. We moved to Italy two years ago when my husband received order's here, and I was able to pick up on a lot of Italian words right away because they were pronounced the same as words in Spanish, which I took in high school.

Spanish. Even the language has some similarities. No one wants to be related to the French.

As someone who speaks Italian, French, and Spanish...It is closer to Spanish, but all three are latin based languages. So there are many similarities.
