GAMM: Italy's Premier Hub for Gaming History

Rome's newest and largest video game museum, GAMM (Game Museum), has officially opened its doors to the public! Situated 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 preserving video game history and culture, describes GAMM as an immersive journey blending historical context, technological innovation, 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 expansive 700-square-meter museum, spread across two floors, is organized into three captivating thematic sections. Before delving into the specifics, take a quick visual tour!
