Festival Name: Carnevale di Ivrea
Festival Country: Italy
Festival Type(s): Bizarre, Carnival, Party
Unlike La Tomatina, the ammunition at Italy's Carnevale di Ivrea's orange battle doesn't get squished before it is hurled in the streets. It may, however, become smushed after colliding with the helmets that keep faces from leaking their own natural juices.


Article Title: Battle of the Oranges
Festival Name: Battle of the Oranges - Ivrea Carnival
Festival Country: Italy
Festival Type(s): Carnival, Bizarre, Party
That fight for liberty is recreated with the Battles of the Oranges, which substitute stones. Italy exceeds its production quota of oranges as agreed within the EEC (the European Economic Community) , so the excess needs to be destroyed (just to keep up the retail price). My co-citizens cooperate in the difficult path towards a unified Europe by helping to smash some oranges.
