Alla fine/in fin dei conti


Explanation:
Apesar de admitir ambas as traduções, neste caso, optaria pela primeira sugestão: "alla fine". Depende um pouco do contexto, mas é uma diferença muito leve:

Afinal, descobriu-se que... seria traduzido com "alla fine".
Afinal, já sabia que ia acontecer isso... poderia ser traduzido com "in fin dei conti".

Buon lavoro!

in conclusione


Explanation:
