Italian often does have more similarities to Latin (especially evangelical Latin, which is Latin that has been more modernized by the Catholic Church). However, both Italian and French (as well as Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian) are classified as "romantic languages", meaning they all have a common ancestor language and have similarities. All romance languages originated from Latin. In fact, Spanish is often closer than Italian but you do need to take your pick from all romance languages when matching words.
