Italy's Historical Carnival And Battle Of Oranges

The Sardinian folk group Su Maimulu from Gairo prepares to participate as a guest in the costume parade. Members of the orange battle teams participate in the traditional Battle of the Oranges in Ivrea, Italy, on March 4, 2025. This event, the largest food fight in Italy, occurs during the Carnival season and symbolizes a historic revolution that takes place in Ivrea during the Middle Ages. The battle features teams known as walking-aranceri (orange handlers) who throw oranges at the aranceri riding on carts. (Photo by Mauro Ujetto/NurPhoto)
