People have not forgotten how to sort things out without assault. True, the desire to throw something at the enemy is great when it comes to the strong and the weak. In the town of Ivrea, in Italy, every year locals and tourists from all over the world gather to take part in the orange battle and how to fire ripe fruit to the first person who comes across.
The celebration of the Orange Battles is called the Battaglia delle Aranche (Orange Battle). It takes place annually on 7 and 8 March as part of the Carnevale d'Ivrea. The essence of the holiday is that several teams dress up in medieval costumes, put on protective helmets so that there are no scars and bruises from ripe fruits, and go out on the warpath. Finding out the relationship on oranges has been going on in Italy for 9 centuries.
In the 12th century, according to legend, a local feudal lord forcibly married the miller's daughter Violetta. The la Gorda girl did not want to give the nobleman the right to the first night and pushed him off the balcony. The guardsmen immediately pounced on Violetta, but the local people stood up for her. The guards were thrown with stones until they released the girl.
Since then, the Orange Battles have been taking place in Italy. Those unlucky ones who find themselves in the epicenter of what is happening should wear a red cap. Then the juicy kind of citrus will not fly in them.
