following
Usage Note
Successivo means 'the one that comes after' in a sequence: il giorno successivo = the next day, il capitolo successivo = the following chapter. It is slightly more formal than prossimo; the key difference is that prossimo often means 'next' relative to now (il prossimo treno = the next train), while successivo means 'the one after the current item in a series.'
Examples
"Il successivo treno parte fra un'ora."
Natural Translation
The next train leaves in an hour.
