drastically
Usage Note
Drammaticamente is used both in its theatrical sense ('in a dramatic way') and, very commonly in journalism, as a near-synonym for 'drastically' or 'sharply' — i prezzi sono saliti drammaticamente ('prices rose dramatically'). Adverbs in Italian are invariable; note the double -mm- reflecting the double consonant of dramma.
Examples
"La situazione è peggiorata drammaticamente."
