As of 2000, Italy led the count with 40 gold medals, ahead of France, which had 36 golds. France led the overall count with 105 medals while Italy had 100. They were both far ahead of anyone else. I'm not sure what has happened since then, but I know that each has gained medals in the last two summer Olympics. Through the 2008 Olympics, Italy has won the most gold medals at 45, France is second at 44, and Hungary is third at 34.
