What We Do

All of IVIPRO Association’s activities are aimed at promoting video game culture and enhancing Italy’s territory and heritage through video games. The Association has developed a series of initiatives designed to support and encourage the dissemination and rediscovery of Italian culture, both nationally and internationally.
In line with its mission, the Association is primarily funded through grants, donations and public financing, but it also offers a range of services aimed at promoting and supporting its goals.

Through its cultural activities, the Association is committed to enhancing Italian video game production by supporting development studios in their creative and professional journey, promoting the industry through dedicated tools and networking opportunities and engaging with institutions to explore the cultural potential of video games.

To the game developers

Our narrative database (available soon in English) of Italian stories and locations is open to anyone seeking narrative inspiration for their work. We are also available to conduct research and in-depth studies related to Italian history, territory and culture.
For video games set in Italy or centered on Italian culture, we facilitate connections between developers and the relevant institutions and Film Commissions. Discover the video games we have supported and the development studios we have worked with!

To public autorithies, cultural institutions and museums

We provide support in drafting announcements and managing direct commissions for institutions interested in using video games to share and promote Italian cultural heritage. We assist public authorities in developing tourist routes and creating tailored editorial content. We also contribute to the preservation of gaming heritage in Italy
We organize public international events, one-day seminars and training workshops aimed at the general public, institutions, cultural associations, as well as cultural, creative and educational professionals.
To check if an Italian region has been featured as the setting of a video game, you can explore our games map (current available in Italian only).

To schools and individuals

We organise educational programmes and workshops, both theoretical and practical, designed for primary and secondary school students, as well as groups of individuals interested in deepening their knowledge of the medium.
