Battle of the Oranges 橙子之戰

文字稿:
This is no ordinary carnival.
It's an epic food fight, called the Battle of the Oranges.
The event takes place in Ivrea in northern Italy, and is based on a legend from the Middle Ages, when the daughter of a miller rejected the advances of an evil lord.
People take the celebration very seriously indeed. And with several hundred tonnes of oranges thrown in three days, the clean-up operation is a battle in itself.
