Usage Note

Unicamente is a formal adverb meaning 'only' or 'exclusively', stronger in register than the everyday solo or soltanto. It is common in written Italian, official documents, and journalism. Unlike solo, it cannot follow a noun directly to restrict it; it typically precedes the word or phrase it modifies.

Examples

"L'ingresso è consentito unicamente ai soci."
