It's a possessive pronoun. From the 'Tips' section in 'Possessions': "In Italian an article is almost always mandatory before a possessive pronoun. The exceptions are: It's not used before close family members, in the singular and not modified, e.g. "mio padre" (my father), unless the possessive is "loro" (in which case the article is needed). It's optional when the possessive adjective is alone following a form of "essere," e.g. "è mio" (it's mine). It's not used in a small number of set phrases, e.g. "casa mia" (my home)" Hope that helps.

I don't think there's any law against having two definite articles in one sentence and would suggest, as voins did, that "il momento finale è il mio" should be fine.
Could someone confirm this please?

I was there last week and wasn't even cautioned for using two definite articles in one sentence!!

You probably had some other mistake in it. Did you copy and paste your answer here? If not, do that the next time, so people can see if you've got an error you're missing.
