(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 3 - The Skuola.net website has published a
list of the most spectacular blunders committed by pupils during
the oral tests of the 2024 'Maturità' high-school final exams
last month.
Perhaps the best came from the student who named Garibaldi, not
Dante, as the author of the Divine Comedy.
Another said the Russians were to blame for the Holocaust, while
one pupil put the year of the fall of the Berlin Wall as 1948.
One answer to raise eyebrows was 'Paolo' Picasso in response to
a question about who painted Guernica.
Examiners were also surprised to find out from one young person
that the dramatist Luigi Pirandello had won an Oscar.
Then there was the student who put the March on Rome in the
summer, changing the date from October 28, 1922, to June 28 of
that year.
Another said Sigmund Freud was the creator of the concept of the
Übermensch (Superman) instead of Friedrich Nietzsche. (ANSA).
