All'ultimo minuto

The expression All'ultimo minuto is an Italian phrase that translates to “at the last minute” in English. It is formed from the prepositional contraction all' (a + l’, meaning “at the”) plus the words ultimo (“last”) and minuto (“minute”).

The phrase is commonly employed in colloquial Italian to describe actions, decisions, or events that occur immediately before a deadline or at the final possible moment. It functions similarly to the English idiom “at the eleventh hour.”

Because All'ultimo minuto is a linguistic expression rather than a formal concept, institution, or widely documented term, it does not have an established entry in major encyclopedic references. Consequently, encyclopedic information about it is limited to its etymology and general usage in the Italian language.
