GAMM Unveils Italy's Gaming Legacy for History's Preservation
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 preserving video game history, describes GAMM as a journey blending history, technology, and interactive gameplay. The museum builds upon the legacy of Vigamus, a previous Rome-based gaming museum that attracted over two million visitors since its 2012 opening.
