If you're talking about something like the term "latinos" (if anybody could feel insulted by this expression I'm sorry... for me it has no negative side) then no, Italians aren't latinos.
Of course Italian derives from latin... but "Latino" is a more or less precise indication that someone is from south America.
All Latins, including Italians, French , Spanish, Portuguese, etc. are connected via their Latin side. For instance, the word Hispanic is a word created in Rome, Italy. Spanish, Italian, French, etc. all derived from the Mother language of Latin--from the Mother country of Rome, Italy
The question was: Are Italians considered latin?, the short and correct answer is yes.
Only in the United States and probably Canada does the word "Latino" mean Latin American,
the exact meaning of the word is simply latin, if you look for the word Latino in a spanish dictionary the word Latino simply means latin: be it a latin person, a thing or a concept, for example, "..la arquitectura latina...."

Are Italians latinos?
Latino is a term for people from Latin America; which does not include Italians. WRONG!!! Latino is considered anybody whose language is based in Latin. Like ppl from: Spain, France, Portugal, Italy and many others. A lot of ppl get Hispanic and Latino mixed up. Hispanic is considered anyone who was impacted by the Spaniards' conquer, like countries from south-America, (but Brazil and Guyana), Central-America, Mexico and most of the Caribbean Islands..So u can be Latino but not Hispanic..=) but most Hispanics would consider latinos only people who are mixed with Indian and spaniard ancestry.So in the eyes of us "Hispanics" Italians,haitians and especially french people are not latinos.
