Also means
to wreck
Usage Note
Sfasciare conveys violent breaking or total destruction — more forceful than rompere. Reflexively, sfasciarsi means to fall apart or collapse, used for both physical objects ('la macchina si è sfasciata') and abstract things like a relationship. It takes avere as its auxiliary in the transitive.
Examples
"Ha sfasciato la sedia con un pugno."
Natural Translation
He smashed the chair with a punch.
