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. The museum builds upon the success of Vigamus, another Roman gaming museum that has drawn over two million visitors since 2012.
