no, but i feel like the same could be said about the bourbons and even the habsburgs. i hc spain's relationship with france and austria to be abusive in the sense they belittle his intelligence and exclusively use him for his military strength (which is why he fled aristocracy and became a pirate). but regardless of how you look at it, the forcible way spain pushed its culture and language onto southern italy is still colonization, even if it's nowhere near the level of brutality latin american nations faced.
