The La Battaglia delle Arance (Battle of the Oranges) is a lively, centuries-old festival held in Ivrea, a town in northern Italy. As part of the town’s Carnival celebrations, it features thousands of participants engaging in a massive orange-throwing battle, symbolizing the town's historic rebellion against a tyrannical ruler. Teams on foot represent rebellious townspeople, while those in carts represent the oppressive forces. The event is both a colorful spectacle and a symbol of freedom, with streets covered in orange pulp and participants wearing red hats to signify their involvement. It’s one of Italy’s most unique and energetic festivals, blending history, tradition, and fun.
