Also means

if necessary

Usage Note

Eventualmente is a major false friend: it does NOT mean 'eventually' (that is alla fine or infine). It means 'if the occasion arises', 'possibly', or 'should it be needed'. English speakers frequently mistranslate it; always double-check the direction.

Examples

"Eventualmente possiamo cambiare il piano."

Natural Translation

If necessary, we can change the plan.
