Discover GAMM: Italy's Extensive Game History Archive

Rome boasts Italy's largest video game museum, GAMM (Game Museum), now open to the public in Piazza della Repubblica. The brainchild of Marco Accordi Rickards – writer, journalist, professor, and CEO of Vigamus – GAMM is a testament to Rickards' passion for preserving and celebrating video game history. He describes the museum as a journey blending historical context, technological innovation, and interactive gameplay exploration. GAMM builds upon the legacy of Vigamus, a previous Roman gaming museum that attracted over two million visitors since its 2012 opening.

Occupying 700 square meters across two floors, GAMM is organized into three captivating thematic zones. A sneak peek awaits!
