GAMM Is the Biggest Game Museum in Italy Where You Can Share Pieces of Game History

Rome's newest and largest video game museum, GAMM (Game Museum), has officially opened its doors to the public! Located 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 advancements, and interactive gameplay exploration. The museum builds upon the legacy of Vigamus, another successful Rome-based gaming museum that has attracted over two million visitors since 2012.

GAMM boasts 700 square meters of exhibition space across two floors, divided into three captivating thematic areas. Before delving into the specifics, take a look at this sneak peek of the museum!
