GAMM Opens Doors to Italy's Game Heritage

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 video game preservation, describes GAMM as a journey blending history, technology, and interactive gameplay. 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 exhibit space across two floors, divided into three captivating thematic areas. Take a sneak peek!
