BATTLE OF THE ORANGES COMPETITION

Today the inhabitants of the ancient town of Ivrea in Northern Italy celebrate their freedom by hurling fresh oranges at each other. The three day event sees the town divided into nine teams, all competing in Italy's largest food fight.

The custom of orange throwing began in an unusual way it is said that in the 1930s local girls threw oranges onto the carriages of the carnival parade in a bid to attract the local boys' attention.

To celebrate Battle Of The Oranges, share a picture of something orange, on instagram or twitter, from 14 - 17 February. The winner will receive £250 worth of TOAST product of their choice including at least one thing orange! Please include our name @TOASTtravels and hashtag #TOASTbattleoftheoranges. We will choose our favourite photo on 20.02.2015.
