Quel pulsante dovrebbe cambiare il semaforo dal rosso al verde o cosa? Ho visto molte volte il PPL che lo stava facendo clic ma non fa nulla o c’è un punto diverso per quello?

It tells the traffic light system that a human is waiting to cross.
It might have an effect, but not necessary. It might also relative to time of day when it actually does anything.
Anyway, it doesn’t instantly switch anything, lights have specific cycle they follow.
Doesn’t switch the light immediately but tells the system that a pedestrian is waiting.
The button doesn’t immediately switch the traffic lights, it just lets the system know there is a pedestrian waiting to cross. Some lights never change green for pedestrians without someone pressing the button, some change without pressing. It depends on how the lights in that intersection are programmed.
It will not instantly change the light, but it gives signal there are people waiting to cross the road. In some places (or in certain times of the day) it seems to make no difference (lights will switch anyway when it is your turn) but in some situations it will change faster to pedestrian green light if you press the button. In general on less busy times you get over faster when pressing the button, in rush hour not so much.
It’s like ordering at an upscale restaurant. It takes time to prepare your order.
The question is already answered, but I also wonder why people spam it, as if it makes it go faster.
Why are so many commenting when the first comment already have the answer?
One thing that I don’t see mentioned in the previous answers is the function of the square light on the bottom: when it’s on either someone has already pushed the button or it is automatically going to give green light to the pedestrian crossing in the next available slot.
So in essence, if the light is dark: push the button. If it’s on: just wait until the traffic light turns green.
You tap the circle at the top, which illuminates the light at the bottom. When that light is on, the control unit of those traffic lights knows there’s a pedestrian there, and will change the light to green when appropriate.
Some dumbos just think spamming the button makes the light change faster.
Those “boxes” always reminds me of an article I read years, years ago. The manufacturer is a small company and a highly religious one from Sweden. Everyone working there are expected to believe in God and they explain the prints on the box, that the finger is pointing up to God or something like that. Weird.
