Rome's newest attraction: GAMM, the city's largest video game museum, is now open! Located in Piazza della Repubblica, this exciting museum 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.
