Italy's GAMM: A Museum for Gaming Enthusiasts

Rome boasts Italy's largest video game museum! GAMM, the Game Museum, is now open to the public in Piazza della Repubblica. The museum is the creation of Marco Accordi Rickards, a writer, journalist, professor, and CEO of Vigamus.

Rickards is deeply committed to preserving and celebrating video game history. He describes GAMM as an immersive experience blending historical context, technological innovation, and interactive gameplay. GAMM builds upon the legacy of Vigamus, another Roman gaming museum that has attracted over two million visitors since 2012.

This expansive museum, covering 700 square meters across two floors, is divided into three captivating thematic zones. Before exploring the details, take a quick virtual tour!
