Cultural Note
Being 'ordinato' is highly valued in Italian culture. It reflects self-discipline and respect for one's living space. The opposite, 'disordinato' (messy), carries a mildly negative connotation about a person's character. Italians often judge someone's personality partly by how they keep their home.
