french meringues are the basic ones where in the sugar and egg whites are beaten to soft peaks and then to a stiff consistency which is raw. in italian meringue a hot sugar syrup is beaten to the softly whipped eggwhites . and further beating it to the peak consistency until the mixture getting cold, here the eggwhites are partly cooked with the heat of sugar syrup.

Basically, French meringue is made of egg whites and sugar together then baked while Italian meringue uses sugar syrup into egg whites instead of regular sugar ( where the bacteria from egg whites is killed from the sugar syrup). Italian meringue can be eaten as it is while French meringue should be baked first.
