yeah I'm pretty sure I was twelve, I was in a summer camp in Ireland and it was the year the blur great escape album came out, we had some leftover chapter to read as summer vacation and I had to bring the book with me. inthe nineties curriculum changed at breakneck speed so anything is possible anyway.
But did you really have "Promessi Sposi" as 12yo? I recall having it in the high school curriculum, some 5 years later.
It is downright illegible for a small kid anyway, I 100% agree.
For me, the teachers' recommended readings for the summer were things of the "good educational readings" kind (To Kill a Mockingbird, Fontamara, Cronache di Poveri Amanti, Il Giardino dei Finzi Contini etc) which are terribly boring for kids.
On the other hand, my class had a class library with more enjoyable stuff in it (Tolkien, Calvino, YA stuff).
