Usage Note

Peraltro is a formal connective adverb meaning 'furthermore, besides, or incidentally'. It is far more common in written Italian and formal speech than in conversation, where tra l'altro or oltretutto serve the same purpose. It can also introduce a concessive aside ('and besides...').

Examples

"Il progetto è costoso e, peraltro, rischioso."

Natural Translation

The project is expensive and, moreover, risky.
