Rome now 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' passion for preserving and celebrating video game history is evident in GAMM, which he describes as a journey blending history, technology, and interactive gameplay. GAMM builds upon the legacy of Vigamus, another Rome-based gaming museum that has attracted over two million visitors since 2012.
This new museum covers 700 square meters across two floors, divided into three captivating thematic areas. Take a sneak peek!
