GAMM: Italy's Mammoth Museum of Gaming History

GAMM: Italy

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, a passionate advocate for video game preservation, describes GAMM as a captivating journey blending history, technology, and interactive gameplay. Building on the success of Vigamus, a Rome-based gaming museum that has welcomed over two million visitors since 2012, GAMM occupies 700 square meters across two floors, showcasing three distinct thematic areas.
