The largest volcano on earth is Mauna Loa on Hawai'i Big Island. It is a massive shieldvolcano constructed by countless lava flows. When measured from the base to the top, the pile of lavas measures more than 17,000 m (56,000 ft)!
When measured from the sea floor, Mauna Loa's height is still more than 9,000 m, thus it is also the highest mountain on earth. Mauna Loa in fact is so heavy, that its weight has bent the oceanic crust under the volcano several kilometers downwards into the mantle.
Mauna Loa is one of the Earth's most active volcanoes, with 33 well-documented eruptions in historic times since 1843. Its last eruption was in 1984 and since 2004, Mauna Loa is showing increasing signs of a possible awakening in a not-too-distant future.
What is largest, highest and tallest in terms of mountains are three different things. Having said that, Mauna Loa is the world's largest volcano and mountain in terms of base area (about 2,000 sq mi/5,200 km2) and volume (about 10,000 cu mi/42,000 km3).
The world's tallest volcano and mountain is Mauna Kea. When measured from the floor of the ocean, Mauna Kea is more than 10,000 m (33,000 ft) tall.
Nevado Ojos del Salado ("Eyes of the Salty river" summit) is a massive stratovolcano in the Andes on the Argentina-Chile border. It is the highest volcano in the world at 6,891 metres (22,608 ft).

As far as I know, the largest known volcano, as a mountain, is Olympus Mons. However, calderas (back here on Earth) - such as the one in Yellowstone Park - can have a diameter of several hundred kilometers, so in a way, those are the largest. It really depends what you are looking for: the largest height, the largest diameter, etc.The biggest volcano is in Italy: AITNA
