Traveling to Italy, then France, then Spain. In what country should I apply for my Schengen visa?

You appear to be a US citizen, as you have never been outside the US.

US citizens do not need visas for visits to the Schengen area, as long as they are not present in the Schengen area for no more than 90 days in any 180-day period.

If you are not a US citizen, please update your question.

The claim that Spain does not accept Schengen visas issued by other countries is ludicrous, though it's possible that someone arrived at that conclusion by misinterpreting some other situation. I won't speculate further on that.

If you were of a nationality that required a Schengen visa, for the itinerary you described, you would normally apply to Italy because, based on the duration of stay, that is your main destination. As you are (apparently) a US citizen, however, you need not worry about that whatsoever.
