Italy’s Ivrea Carnival: The Thrilling Orange Battle

Spain’s tomato-throwing "La Tomatina" is wildly popular, but for those who prefer hurling something tangier, head to Italy in February. At the Ivrea Carnival, thousands of ripe oranges are pelted in a juicy battle during the festival’s highlight.

 

 

The orange fight, a beloved tradition, turns the streets into a chaotic, citrus-filled arena. To avoid getting hit by flying fruit, visitors can buy a long red Phrygian cap—here, the red hat symbolizes freedom and guarantees protection from the orange "attacks."

 

This lively carnival blends history and revelry, with the orange battle said to symbolize resistance against past tyrannies. Unlike the tomato festival, its tangy twist and unique safety tradition make Ivrea’s celebration a one-of-a-kind experience for thrill-seekers.
