10015 Ivrea, Metropolitan City of Ivrea, Piemonte, Italy. Battle of the Oranges, Ivrea, February Ivrea is the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy. This famous ‘battle’ reenacts the 12th-century skirmish with citrus fruit in what is one of Europe’s biggest food fights. Participants either run through the streets or hurl oranges from one of the ‘battle buses’ which patrol Ivrea. Each year in the days leading up to Fat Tuesday, the townspeople of Ivrea divide into nine squads and spend the next three days having Italy’s biggest food fight. Great for anyone low on vitamin C!
