When interpreted literally, the Tempo primo indication directs us to the beginning of the piece, which, of course, could not have been intended by Chopin. Therefore, formally speaking, come prima would be more appropriate, which means, among others, 'as before'. We keep the source indication, as the texture clearly indicates that it should be the tempo of the main section of the Fantasy that should be continued.
