Whichever one you learn first.
Italian, unless you are learning for literature, only has about four tenses, so...easiest for just spoken language.
The thing is...the more languages you learn, the easier they get. Learning French is very difficult for people who have problems memorizing spelling. Spanish, at first, seems easier, because the spelling/pronunciation is very straightforward. But as you get more advanced, there is more complicated Grammar in Spanish (and it's used in daily speech), whereas French becomes more regular.
The thing is: If you take French first, you'll find Spanish much easier, because you'll have already lain the groundwork for comprehending the fully inflected verbs. That's pretty much the most complicated piece. All the communicative structures that seem very strange when first learning a Romance Language are there after the first one. It is simply a case of having to learn the words...weather constructions, having hunger, cold, etc., are very simple to just interpose the new words, once you understand that the structure is different from English.
I took Spanish first. There were whole units in French where my notes were: Learn the vocab. Grammar: same as Spanish.
I did the same with Italian.
Italian and French have this thing with the past tense and intransitive verbs...once you have one down, you can simply learn the other...rules are the same.

You don;t say what your native language is. For many English speakers, Spanish is easier, as the pronunciation is very straightforward, the grammar is not too hard, and there will be familiar words [simply because English borrowed so many words from Latin, and Latin is the ancestor of Spanish].
Of course Latin is also the ancestor of Italian and French - However English people, and people from the USA, sometimes have problems with French pronunciation.

They say that Spanish is the easiet between those, BUT they cannot learn "propper" Spanish even after studying 5 years or more.
However, in my own opinion I would say that French seems to be the hardest.

Hi, I' m Italian and Italian it's very dificult, but I would appreciate an English speaking Italian. But in Italian, unlike of English, all verbs are conjugated differently for each person. for example, the verb "to be" (in Italian "essere") this is:
Io sono.
Tu sei
Egli é
Noi siamo
Voi siete
Essi sono
The three the passato remoto, imperfetto, futuro semplice, passato prossimo, Trapassato Prossimo, Trapassato remoto e futuro semplice.
ie
Passato remoto
Io fui
Tu fosti
Egli fu
Noi fummo
Voi fuste
Essi furono
Imperfetto
Io ero
Tu eri
Egli era
Noi eravamo
Voi eravate
Essi erano
Futuro semplice
Io sarò
Tu sarai
Egli sarà
Noi saremo
Voi sarete
Essi saranno
Ecc.
There are also several different ways, this includes that presente, passato remoto, imperfetto, futuro semplice ecc. Is the way "indicativo" then there congiuntivo (congiuntivo presente, passato, imperfetto e trapassato), condizionale (presente e passato), imperativo (presente), infinito, participio e gerundio.

Either Italian, or French.. From an American point of view, that is.
To me, French would be the easiest, since I already know it.

Usually this is what people answer to this question:
1, Italian - the hardest
2, French - A tough one, too.
3, Spanish - Very easy.
