2. Battle of the Oranges, Italy 🍊
The village of Ivrea in northern Italy hosts a celebration known as the Battle of the Oranges. This is one of the biggest food fights in Italy and is a feature of the Ivrea Carnival.
It is a reenactment of a medieval combat. Oranges are thrown at each other by teams on foot and in carts to represent the struggle for independence. If you find yourself in the middle of it when visiting Italy, make sure to quickly grab the first orange and join the party!
