Rome's newest attraction: GAMM, the city's largest video game museum! Now open to the public in Piazza della Repubblica, GAMM is the creation of Marco Accordi Rickards, a writer, journalist, professor, and CEO of Vigamus.
Rickards, a passionate advocate for preserving video game history, describes GAMM as an immersive journey blending history, technology, and interactive gameplay. The museum builds upon the legacy of Vigamus, another Rome-based gaming museum that has attracted over two million visitors since 2012.
Spread across 700 square meters on two floors, GAMM features three distinct thematic zones. Before exploring them in detail, take a look at this sneak peek of the museum!
