I assume you mean "stretto", and then "stretti" would be the plural form of the first in italian (never encountered it on a score, could you tell us where ?)

I know the dux quartus of the fourth fugue of oc has [le strette] indicated in text at the main stretto section near the end, which I take is the same as stretto or stretti. 

otherwise when written in a piece it basically means the same as accelerando.
