Zaccaria

Zaccaria is an Italian pinball manufacturer founded in Bologna in 1974 by brothers Marino, Franco and Natale Zaccaria, which grew through the 1970s and 1980s into one of Europe’s leading makers of pinball and arcade machines before ending pinball production in the late 1980s; the company’s history and impact on European pinball are well documented in industry sources. Over its run Zaccaria produced more than 40 distinct machines known for vibrant artwork, inventive playfield designs and early adoption of solid-state electronics, digital sound and interactive light displays—classic titles include Winter Sports (1978), Space Shuttle (1980), Devil Riders, Magic Castle and Robot—and those vintage pinball machines remain highly sought-after by collectors and preservationists. Zaccaria’s catalog is also preserved for modern audiences through licensed digital recreations and releases on PC/Steam, keeping the Italian manufacturer’s legacy alive for fans of vintage pinball machines worldwide.
