lying down, stretched out
Stava disteso sul letto a guardare il soffitto senza pensare a niente.
He was lying on the bed looking at the ceiling without thinking about anything.
In questo momento sei disteso su una pianura.
At this moment you are lying on a plain.
— Old Boy (2003)
Ma il nano era disteso sul pavimento e non si muoveva.
But the dwarf was lying on the floor and did not move.
— Tesis (1996)
