You can strap on a helmet and join in the fight or watch contently from behind a safety net.
The Carnival of Ivrea lasts for three days and involves a showdown between pedestrian “villagers” and “the forces of the tyrant” in wagons. Not only does the city consume around 500,000 pounds of oranges in the battle, but there are multiple bean dinners, a massive mock funeral for the casualties, folk music performances, parades, and tons of yummy street food! You can strap on a helmet and join in the fight or watch contently from behind a safety net. The choice is yours!
