Usage notes
- More formal and written than tutto/tutta or completamente; common in reports, instructions, and official language.
- Use it to modify verbs or adjectives, not as an adjective itself: interamente pagato, not *un interamente libro*.
- Often appears before a past participle or adjective: interamente distrutto, interamente dedicato.
