the the ny times covered this years carnevale in ivrea, italy where james and i spent a year(2004-2005).
you can see a few photos of carnevale d’ivrea on my flickr.
the carnevale celebration was about a month long in entirety. the culmanation of all that celebrating is the 3 day long orange battle. it is definitely an experience being there during the fights. several days we were in the middle of the battles with oranges flying past you. the smell was wonderful the first night….well i can say there was a lot of clean-up. they brought out snow-plows at night to pick up squashed orange goop.
after carnevale was over, every once in a while you would spot an orange somewhere.
from the bridge i saw a lot of oranges near the river, even a month after carnivale.
posts from carnevale 2005 are here in my olde blogge of years past. enjoy and eat a blood orange from sardinia today.
