Italian bread / French bread, differences

At that level (French versus Italian) no difference. That said a specific bakery may make an arbitrary difference between the two (crust thickness or shape) but those difference won’t hold true for another bakery.

There are of course difference between specific breads within and between each category. The French baguette isn’t that same as ciabatta. A brioche isn’t the same as panettone. Etc etc.
