<sod>One of the citizens is elected Mugnaia (miller's daughter). Legend has it that Ivrea was once ruled by an evil duke (identified by historians with Guido III, against which the population really arose, demolishing his castle, in [[1194]]). After the miller's daughter (la "Mugnaia") Violetta got married, the duke claimed his [[droit du seigneur]], the right to spend a night with each newly wed woman, and forced her into his castle. Once in the duke's rooms, Violetta used the opportunity to cut his head off, starting a revolution that eventually brought to the destruction of the castle. Today the carriages represent the duke's army and the orange throwers the revolutionaries.<eod>
