The Carnival of Ivrea
The Historical Carnival of Ivrea is an extraordinary event that evokes different moments in history and stages the incredible battle of the oranges.
The Carnival of Ivrea, with its complex ritual and the extraordinary battle of the oranges transforms the city into a great open-air party. It is possible to visit the Carnival and follow its events safely or for the more daring to participate in the battle.
In numerous villages of the Canavese there are popular historical re-enactments dedicated to the Middle Ages, including at least the May Tournament at the Court of King Arduino in Cuorgnè, the Ides of May in Oglianico and the Medieval Holidays in Pavone.
The panorama of music and literary festivals is also rich: from the Ivrea Jazz Festival to the Vialfrè Apolide Festival, from Tavagnasco Rock to the Great Invasion of Ivrea, just to mention the most well-known events. Many events are dedicated to food and wine products (grapes, mushrooms, herbs, salampatata chestnuts, red corn, savoy cabbage, cipollino, torcetto) and crafts (ceramic, copper).
