Saturday afternoon walk in the historic center of Ivrea ... a look at the window of a bakery with delicious local produce. Viae, squares and buildings decorated with the colors and banners
Col Ivrea Carnevale recalls an episode of liberation from tyranny from the Middle Ages: The legend tells of a baron who starve the city was driven to rebellion by the daughter of a miller, betrothed to a young man, he would not obey the Droit de seigneur. This is what is evoked in the battle of the oranges: the people, represented by the orange throwers on foot fights with strokes of orange against the armies of Feudatario, represented by shooters on wagons, drawn by horses, wearing caps and masks that recall ancient armor . But why throw the oranges? 800 oranges fruits were not common in Ivrea, which were used as a sign of homage and were then used as projectiles during Carnival. In the three-day battle of the oranges, not to be subjected to launch as tradition must wear the Phrygian cap, which is a trademark of Ivrea and active participation in the Carnival. Carnival of the main characters are General and Miller. This year, those wishing to attend the Battle of the Oranges in Ivrea must be on the 6, 7 and 8 March ... not to mention home Phrygian cap, of course!
