I have never heard of Southern European people being called "Latino".
"Latinate" perhaps, and Latin is a major precursor to some of the modern European languages.
The word "latino" though is usually reserved for the descendants of European, especially Spanish and Portuguese, colonists on the S. American continent. The name "America" is itself of Iberian root.
