GAMM: Italy's Hub for Game History Preservation

Rome's newest and largest video game museum, GAMM (Game Museum), has officially opened its doors to the public! Located in Piazza della Repubblica, this exciting new venue is the creation of Marco Accordi Rickards, a writer, journalist, professor, and CEO of Vigamus.
