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

Rome's newest attraction: GAMM, the Game Museum! A sprawling 700-square-meter space, GAMM is now open to the public in Piazza della Repubblica. The brainchild of Marco Accordi Rickards (writer, journalist, professor, and CEO of Vigamus), this museum represents a passion project dedicated to preserving and celebrating video game history.
