Eg is the r sound in Latin the same as the r in the Spanish words pero and perro?

Quoting Wikipedia

In Classical Latin, the rhotic /r/ was most likely an alveolar trill [r]. Gaius Lucilius likens it to the sound of a dog, and later writers describe it as being produced by vibration. In Old Latin, intervocalic /z/ developed into /r/ (rhotacism), suggesting an approximant like the English [ɹ], and /d/ was sometimes written as /r/, suggesting a tap [ɾ] like Spanish single r.[20]

From bedwere’s quote then, it seems Classic r was pronounced rather like in modern Italian and that there was not such a strong distinction as in Spanish between flap and strong pronunciation. I live in Spain and people are ver aware of the distinction, many jokes around it.

Thanks!

So to confirm, is the r always trilled? I know in Spanish the r can be tapped or trilled. But with Italian I read somewhere that the r is always a voiced alveolar trill, with a short trill for the single r (not being at the start of a word) and a longer trill for the double r – is this correct? So should I pronounce the r the spanish way (with both tapped and trilled r) or the Italian way (always trilled)?
