Usage Note
Storto describes something physically bent or misaligned (un chiodo storto, a bent nail) but also figurative wrongness — guardare storto means 'to look askance at someone' or 'to give a dirty look'. The adverb storto appears in andare storto ('to go wrong'), a very common colloquial expression.
Examples
"Quel quadro è appeso storto."
Natural Translation
That picture is hung crooked.
