Yeah idk if a 1200 can benefit from playing classical time controls and even if I just want to have fun with chess and in this spirit the question about the openings was asked.

Why not 2.Bc4? It often transposes to the Italian and you don't have to deal with the Petroff.

 

You have to deal with 2...Nf6 3.d3 c6 though, which is fine for Black..

Can you tell me, which is the best option for white to reach very sharp tactical positions through opening 

ANY opening. It's not the opening that is sharp and tactical, it's what kind of play you engage in.

The answer is you have to play and study a lot. You'll have to learn many openings before this happens because your opponent gets to make half the moves. You'll have to learn many middlegame and endgame ideas too.

That's way too much work!
