There were over 2,400 games employees working in Italy during 2022.
The number may sound low, but that represents a 50% spike over 2021 as the country's games industry looks to expand.
This is according to a new report released by the Italian trade body the IIDEA, and presented at its First Playable event in Florence last month.
