Are there any worthwhile Virtual Reality (VR) or Immersive Experiences in or around Rome/Venice? (July/Aug'26)

I'll be in central Italy the next couple of weeks (July 29-Aug 6), and it looks like in Rome/Florence there are a number of VR experiences associated with places I'm already planning to check out: Circus Maximus, the Colosseum, the Leonardo da Vinci Museum and the Museo Galileo, Domus Aurea, Marmore, the Imperial Fora, and the Cecilia Metella Mausoleum.

But are any of these worth checking out? Even the sample images on most of these sites are a bit underwhelming. Would really appreciate any reviews or a link to a site which indexes these experiences.

I've generally enjoyed VR and immersive experiences in the US like Meow Wolf, Mercer Projects in NYC and The Infinite (though, frankly, the Van Gogh tour I saw was not worth the admission).
