Rome's newest attraction: GAMM, the Game Museum! Now open to the public in Piazza della Repubblica, this expansive museum is the creation of Marco Accordi Rickards, a writer, journalist, professor, and CEO of Vigamus.
Rickards' passion for preserving video game history shines through in GAMM, described as a journey blending history, technology, and interactive gameplay. Building on the success of Vigamus, another Rome-based gaming museum attracting over two million visitors since 2012, GAMM occupies 700 square meters across two floors, divided into three distinct zones.
