Usage Note

Complessivamente is a formal adverb used to summarize or give a total assessment, equivalent to 'overall' or 'all in all.' It is more emphatic than in generale and is common in written reports, academic texts, and official evaluations. Avoid confusing it with completamente (completely), which has a different meaning.

Examples

"Complessivamente, il progetto è andato bene."
