Yep, thanks to your email, I realized a "mini dump" extracted randomly
is enough for my purposes.
Thanks Ilmari!

Thanks Gregor and yes, you are right.
I didn't think about your suggestion before, sorry.
The fact is that I wrote a script running on the
pages-meta-current.xml because it is much smaller and manageable but,
you are right: I can use the revision of the page I'm interested that
is in pages-meta-history.xml
If you're only interested in a small number of pages, you can get an
up-to-date "mini dump" through Special:Export. See
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Export> and
<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Export> for details.
Alternatively, you can also fetch page histories through the API:
