It looks as though it will depend when their passports were issued. Link below

Austrian, Italian, French and Temporary German Passports


Austria: If your regular Austrian passport was issued or renewed on or after 10/26/05, and has an Austrian visa foil with a digital photo, it is valid for travel without a visa under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP); otherwise, a U.S. visa is required.
Italy: If your regular Italian passport was issued or renewed on or after 10/26/05, and includes a digital photo, it is valid for VWP travel; otherwise, a U.S. visa is required.
France: If your regular French passport was issued on or after 10/26/05, you need a visa to travel to the U.S.
