It's the annual Battle of the Oranges in Ivrea, northern Italy. Nine squads of orange-hurlers defend their turf against the cart-riding henchmen of the odious Duke. Here we have the Tuchini del Borghetto in their green and red kit. The event dramatizes the historic tension between town and castle, but nobody's really sure how oranges got into it.
