Background:
The Carnival of Ivrea started in the 12th century between Napoleonic and Medieval periods. The festival marks the killing of the local tyrant Conte Ranieri di Biandrate by Violetta, who was the daughter of the local Miller, and hence the end of the town's oppression. The festival is celebrated with the throwing of oranges on knights on carts. This tradition also includes a free distribution of beans around the town as beans are considered a major source of food so distributed to poor. This festival was also celebrated to mark the end of French colony in Italy.
We choose Florida as the place for the events for two reasons. The first is to align with
Emancipation Day in Florida, and remind everyone of the end of oppression through slavery. Another major reason we chose Florida is that Florida is one of the largest producers and exporters of oranges in the country. The event location was also chosen due to the pleasant weather and to attract people from various cultures and possibly even countries as Florida is a popular tourist destination. The specific park was chosen due to its park availability and space for the event.
The celebration in Florida will educate people about this festival, and will also celebrate the end of COVID. We will have these knights dressed in COVID virus costumes and people can throw oranges at these people. The event will be a 1-day event with a couple rounds of war to celebrate orange throwing. Since this festival will use oranges, there are risks with human safety, and thus we will be providing additional gear if needed at the event site. We also recommend that wear or carry non-slippery shoes for the main event. There will also be provisions for kids, as well as food and drinks for people to chill and enjoy the day. There will also be a skit/ play, and a band performance at the start and end of the day respectively. The play will tell a small story of the historical events to the people about the festival.
The project will partner with One World, One Community, and will look for sponsorship from Culture Builds Florida, and Visit Tallahassee. We will also partner with local food (like Sonny’s BBQ) and drink joints to promote the event and attract customers.
Business Case:
The Ivrea Carnival will be an orange throwing event that celebrates Italian history of freedom from tyrants and oppression, and celebrates the end of COVID for the people of Florida. The event will take place at Elinor Klapp-Phipps Park in Tallahassee, Florida on June 18th, 2022. The primary event of throwing oranges is targeted for age groups 16 to 50, but the carnival will have events for the whole family to enjoy including a kids play area, and food and drinks. The event will be held from 10 AM to 6 PM with an expected attendees of 5000 people. The event will cost $125,000 with majority of the investment coming from sponsors, ticket sales, and One World, One Community. The costs include planning, designing, marketing, staff, inventory management, cleaning charges, and event location reservation.
Team Operating Principles:
1. Event team members should follow up on previous meeting agenda and event updates.
2. Every week, all event team members should meet for an hour.
3. If event members have any issues, please ask for help from others.
4. The event team members are responsible to set their own deadlines.
5. Backup plans should be created for foods and drinks in case of drop out.
6. The event organizer should be responsible for collecting point-to-point updates from team members and gathering information for the next meeting.
7. Decisions are made by only team leaders on any issues and also the final decision is taken by the event organizer.
