BATTLE OF THE ORANGES 2019 | Battaglia delle Arance | Carnevale Ivrea
The battle of the oranges in Ivrea, Italy is one of the biggest food fights in the world. Known as Battaglia delle Arance, or Storico Carnevale Ivrea in Italy, this festival is easily one of the most exciting, and was it s biggest celebration yet in 2019. It is the only orange battle in the world. Often compared to the tomato fight in Buñol, Spain near Valencia. La Tomatina is a very different experience. Tomatoes are a joke compared to oranges. If you ve been to La Tomatina before, expect a much more extreme festival. Teams like Scacchi, Picche, Arduini, Tuchini, Diavoli, Pantera Nera, Mercenari, Credendari, Morte, team up in the 5 town squares in Ivrea over 3 days of Battle. While the festival seems to be all about oranges, it s much deeper than that and has a complex and rich history around it. Ivrea, Italia is located just outside of Turino (Torino) and not that far from Milan. The say it started this way. In medieval times there was an evil king who enforced Ius Primae Noctis, aka "Prima Nocta" on all the new brides. This "rule" meant that the king got to deflower every woman before her husband on her wedding night. The Miller s Daughter called The Mugnaia, was brought to his quarters on her wedding night for this terrible act. She courageously grabbed his sword, and cut off his head. She freed herself, and the people of Ivrea from his tyranny. This carnival is a celebration of freedom, not citrus fruit. If you d like to attend the Battle of the Oranges next year.
