I'm not familiar with Italian road signs but I'd interpret that sign to mean the exact opposite: pedestrians only.

Then it would be blue, not white with a red border. The latter always signifies a forbiddance, while blue signs are an allowance (and often implicitly disallowing everything else).

Interesting, in Ireland we don't have the red and white pedestrian sign, but we do have the likes of this[0] red and white taxi sign signifying a taxi rank (implicitly disallowing parking for non-taxis).

For "no pedestrians", we have what to my eyes much more sensible: the same sign as the Italian one but with a strike through it [1]
