Italian History Unfolds as GAMM Unveils Game Museum Treasure Trove

Rome's newest attraction: GAMM, the city's largest video game museum, is now open! Located in Piazza della Repubblica, this impressive museum is the creation of Marco Accordi Rickards, a writer, journalist, professor, and CEO of Vigamus.

Rickards, a passionate advocate for video game preservation, describes GAMM as an immersive journey blending history, technology, and interactive gameplay. The museum builds upon the legacy of Vigamus, another successful Rome-based gaming museum that has welcomed over two million visitors since 2012.

GAMM boasts 700 square meters of exhibition space across two floors, divided into three captivating thematic areas. Get a sneak peek below!
