GAMM: Italy's Premier Gaming Haven Unveils Treasures

Rome boasts Italy's largest video game museum! GAMM, the Game Museum, has officially opened its doors to the public in Piazza della Repubblica. The museum is the creation of Marco Accordi Rickards, a writer, journalist, professor, and CEO of Vigamus.

Rickards is deeply committed to preserving and celebrating video game history. He describes GAMM as an immersive experience blending historical context, technological advancements, and interactive gameplay exploration. GAMM builds upon the legacy of Vigamus, another successful Rome-based gaming museum that has attracted over two million visitors since 2012.

The new GAMM museum occupies 700 square meters across two floors, showcasing three captivating thematic zones. Before delving into the details, take a peek at the museum!
