Ivrea Celebrates Its Carnival

IVREA, ITALY - FEBRUARY 26. A team of the orange throwers on foot battle against those above in a carriage during the carnival on February 26, 2006 in Ivrea, Italy. The carnival?s famous orange battles originate from the town's medieval heritage, when feudal Lords would hand out food to the poor who reputedly threw it back as a gesture of disrespect. The battle of oranges is the most spectacular event of the festivities representing the fight for freedom, the symbol of the Ivrea Carnival. (Photo by Marco Di Lauro/Getty Images)
