What was this photo doing in East Side Mario's?

So what is a copy of this iconic photograph of a young boy in Paris doing in a restaurant that purports to be "authentic Italian"? Are there no photographs of young boys in Rome? Does the management think that no one will know that the boy is French and not Italian? Is the use of this photograph in the restaurant the result of ignorance or an attempt at deception. (Making people think it was shot in Italy.)
Just another detail in retail that someone got wrong.
Perhaps the restaurant should have this photograph up on the wall instead?
