Usage Note
Complessivo means taken as a whole, encompassing all parts — closer to 'overall' or 'aggregate' than to 'complex' (complesso), which is a false friend trap. Il costo complessivo is the total cost; la situazione complessiva is the overall situation. The adverb complessivamente means 'overall, in total'. Do not confuse with complesso (complex, difficult).
Examples
"Il costo complessivo è di mille euro."
Natural Translation
The overall cost is one thousand euros.
