I beg to differ. Having several country sites/addresses for Spanish, which is a single language is a total overkill. For writing/reading purposes, there is not such thing as Spanish Spanish, Mexican Spanish or Argentinian Spanish. Furthermore, the vast majority of Spanish language websites are .com. ,mx, .ar, .cl, ,pe etc. are a small minority.
Subdomains will help, but probably the most important individual thing is to make sure that the language tags are correct. Declare lang="es", lang="en" and lang="it" the spiders will know their way. This looks obvious. It is not. Most multi-lingual sites just forget to straighten up their lang tags.
