IVIPRO Days 2020: the digital videogame exhibition is available, the details

2020 has been a positive year for video games, both thanks to the release of multiple valuable titles, and due to the fact that the quarantine has pushed more and more people to approach this world. However, there is a less visible effect, such as logistical difficulties for developers and publishers, forced to work from home. Additionally, 2020 forced event organizers to postpone or rework conferences and trade shows. One of these is the 2020 edition of IVIPRO Days.

Fortunately, the organizers have created a digital version of the event, which you can explore in person (even in VR!) Directly from your browser and even from your smartphone /Tablet. We at GameDivision had the opportunity to preview the exhibition: here's everything you need to know!

IVIPRO Days 2020

The IVIPRO DAYS 2020 are the annual Italian event dedicated to video games as a means of promoting the territory and cultural heritage. Starting from today it is possible to enter for free the virtual exhibition which hosts images, paintings and artwork (some of which completely unpublished) from video games set in Italy or linked to Italian culture.

If you are interested in participating, you must just reach this address.

What works are exhibited?

Within the virtual exhibition, as we said, you will be able to see multiple works dedicated to games set in Italy or related to Italian culture, but what are they? We do not want to completely spoil the surprise, but we can anticipate that you will be able to admire works dedicated to:

A Painter's Tale Curon 1950 (Trentino-Alto Adige), WunderBO (Emilia-Romagna), Saturnalia (Sardinia), Martha Is Dead (Tuscany), The Town of Light (Tuscany), The Land of Pain ( Veneto and Trentino-Alto Adige), The Alien Cube (Veneto and Trentino-Alto Adige) and many others.
