Do
you know the stories behind the
Battle of the Oranges? As
per the legend, this festival was started because of the anger of
oppressed ones against the ruling class. History says, “he” was
someone from the Royal family who was exercising his right to have
fun
with
a commoner. Well, this commoner called “Violetta” knew what sort
of fun,
this
was. Her mother must have advised her to behave properly, but mother
was not convincing enough. As he approached her, behind closed doors,
she decapitated him. He was the last one to use that right. Since
then, people of Ivrea, Italy have been throwing oranges. There are
two groups, one represents the Royal family on the cart and other the
commoners.

The
commoners throw oranges at cart with people portraying as the Royal
family, taking out their anger on them. The concept of throwing
oranges has a different story too. Violetta might have had skin
issues like acne or dry skin. Royal guy must have been honest with
her and told her the truth. Being honest with a woman on her beauty
cost him his head. She made sure that in future no more heads are
decapitated at the cost of skin issues. Since then, oranges are being
thrown. Orange reduces wrinkles, acne, dark circles under eye and
make hair softer and dandruff free. I love cocktail recipes. So let’s dance with Roasted
