BATTLE OF THE ORANGES (Carnival of Ivrea) – Italy
Video and photos in 4K (UHD) I have made during the Battle of the Oranges (battaglia delle arance) at the Carnival of Ivrea in Italy in February 2018, including some video footages and photos of the Castle of Pavone, near Ivrea, taken with my Dji Mavic Pro drone. The video includes the following highlights: preparations of the battle, streets of Ivrea before the battle, town of Ivrea, Carnival of Ivrea (carnevale d’Ivrea), aranceri (orange handlers) combat teams, the Scacchi, the Scorpioni d’Arduino, Aranceri della morte, the Diavoli, the chariots representing the tyrant's ranks, spectators wearing the Phrygian Cap (Berretto Frigio), Piazza Ottinetti, Castle of Pavone (castello di Pavone) from the sky.
As always thank you for watching and for your great comments!

SwissTravelChannel is a YouTube channel of my holiday’s trips videos, taken all around the world since 2008. Some are for pure tourism and others are more of an adventure. The videos usually show the top best tourist attractions, the top things to do and top places to see. The goal is to inspire others on their next vacations. The videos can also be seen as a guide to have an idea of the main highlights and places to explore. I love to take pictures of the nature, traditions and different cultures, to search the must-see spots and show the essentials in my videos, for this reason I always try to create the perfect vacation. Traveling is more than a hobby for me, is a way of life.

BATTLE OF THE ORANGES (source Wikipedia):
The festival's origins are somewhat unclear. A popular account has it that it commemorates the city's defiance against the city's tyrant, who is either a member of the Ranieri family or a conflation of the 12th-century Ranieri di Biandrate and the 13th-century Marquis William VII of Montferrat.
Every year the citizens remember their liberation with the Battle of the Oranges, where teams of aranceri (orange handlers) on foot throw oranges (representing old weapons and stones) against aranceri riding in carts (representing the tyrant's ranks). During the 19th-century French occupation of Italy, the Carnival of Ivrea was modified to add representatives of the French army. Another adaptation of the story has the oranges used to symbolize the removed testicles of the tyrant.
The core celebration is based on a locally famous Battle of the Oranges that involves some thousands of townspeople, divided into nine combat teams, who throw oranges at each other – with considerable violence – during the traditional carnival days: Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The carnival takes place in February.
Originally beans were thrown, then apples. Later, in the 19th century, oranges came to represent the stones thrown at the king's castle in order to demolish it. The origin of the tradition of throwing oranges is not well understood, particularly as oranges do not grow in the foothills of the Italian Alps and must be imported from Sicily.
There are a handful of routes that are allowed for spectators. The first is to hide behind the nets that are draped around the buildings, this is by far the safest choice and is highly recommended for those planning to attend with children. For the more adventurous spectator you can simply stay on the battlefield throughout the whole battle. This choice has to be made with certain considerations the biggest of which rogue oranges that have missed their targets and are on a trajectory right towards the middle of the battle where the spectators are located. Despite what one may expect the armored palace guards are not the ones that you have to be wary of when spectating, but the throwers on the other side of the chariots who are attempting to hit the guards. Every spectator is encouraged to purchase and wear, at all times, the Berretto Frigio/Phrygian Cap/red hat for protection. Wearing the hat signifies that you are part of the revolutionaries and will protect you from getting oranges directly thrown at you; however, as previously mentioned, if you are in the battlefield the hazard of getting hit by oranges is still a very real and essentially guaranteed occurrence. Spectators are not allowed to throw oranges as long as they are wearing their Berretto Frigio.

Historic Centre of Naples - UNESCO World Heritage Site
The UNESCO World Heritage site of Naples, or Napoli, is the largest city in southern Italy and a historic and cultural powerhouse. Settled by the Greeks around 600 BC who called it Neapolis, or New City, Naples has had several distinct phases in its history: pre-Roman and then Roman, medieval, Renaissance, and then early modern history as well. Come with me as I take a look at each area of Naples's history - and eat a few pizzas along the way!
