ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)<br/> <br />Hundreds of revelers on Sunday (March 2) poured into Ivrea, Italy to re-enact the northern Italian city's historic 'Battle of the Oranges'.<br/> <br />The annual event sees large crowds dressed up in medieval costumes engage in a spectacular citrus clash bombarding each other with juicy oranges from Sicily.<br/> <br />Legend has it that back in the 12th century the daughter of a local miller rejected the advances of the town's evil lord. She cut off his head and set Ivrea free from his tyranny.<br/> <br />The battle recalls the insurrection against the tyrant with participants split into noblemen and commoners with the oranges representing the oppressor's head.<br/> <br />In the 1930s local girls started to throw oranges along with confetti and flowers from their balconies onto the carnival parade carriages so that the boys would notice them.<br/> <br />From the carriages the boys would throw items back. With time the gesture became first a duel and then a real fight bet
