What's the difference between'sciattone' and'sporco'? I've seen both words used to describe someone who's messy."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "'Sciattone' and'sporco' both convey the idea of being messy or dirty, but'sporco' tends to focus more on being physically dirty or unclean, whereas'sciattone' emphasizes the aspect of being untidy or disorganized.
