"Sometimes Happiness is just the feeling of being in a place called Home"
Smell of new wood, cleaned and empty table in the middle of the living room, fixed beds with comfortable mattresses, large hot shower, perfume of cleaned kitchen... just cooked food is missing, but granita with water melon has been an excellent option!
What is MC team talking about? have we moved AIESEC to a furniture company? No, this is just a picture of MC new house..the last picture we are taking in this exact moment!
The process of building this picture has been something really connected with ambition, commitment, resilience..and never ending stories. AIESEC is always about this..it's a matter of alignment, maybe.

Now all the world can have the opportunity to discover where MC team has been in the last 15 days and What were these 20 years old guys doing 24 hours a day!
- Can you imagine the process of moving one office with 50 years of archive inside and 12 people still working there?
- Can you imagine the process of moving an house habited by 12 people to a flat just in one day?
- Can you imagine the meaning of scratching 4 rooms walls and floors from marble and ceramic to remove paint and glue?
- Can you figure in your mind the painting process directed by a 22 years old girl? Do you know how to put together IKEA stuffs? How to clean house?
We didn't think to be able to do recycling even if it was 20 hours that we were doing the same movement to spear paper form plastic to trash archives folders. Here we understood the meaning of commitment!
Was it easy? It wasn't.
Was it fast? Maybe, in average..
Was the goal achieved? It was!
Now that everything is over we all are talking about this double moving with a smile on our face, and we all know that it has been one of the most exciting, unique, unpredictable experience we could have done during our term as Leadership Body of AIESEC in Italy. Which experience can bring you closer to your team apart from sit on a dry floor scratching glue or do a human chain from dusty underground without lights? Is there anything that can give you more trust on your teammates then to stand under lot of kilos bed bearing it and waiting for others to fix it?
Picasso said, "if you paint, close your eyes and sing".
It has been a process of inspiration, poetry, fantasy, dream.
"La pittura è una poesia che si vede e non si sente, e la poesia è una pittura che si sente e non si vede." "Painting is an action of self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is" (Jackson Pollock)
What about now? we are sitting in the middle of the house, feeling a comfortable sense of happiness.
"This is the real nature of the house: the place of peace; he refuge, not just from every injustice, but also form every fear, doubt and dissension" (Jhon Ruskin)
What motivated us to do all this fatigue was the commitment to bring AIESEC Italy Member Committee team a better house for the future, to save money to pay International Conference in India (www.ic2010india.org/) and to have a higher quality everyday life during all our term in order to provide an higher level of work to the organization and to better develop ourselves as people.
"Things are made to be lived, not just to be seen" (F. Bacon)
Just once we had moved everything we realized..once, 15 years ago, 75 MC full time members ago and hundreds people sleeping over there for AIESEC necessities ago, via Andora was avery good place, big, lightening, with a wood parquet, 3 stairs to be lived ad corners to be discovered.
For this reason, MC AIESEC Italy decided to adopt a motto for this year, at least: "Not to have in our house something you don't consider useful, or you don't see as beautiful" (W. Morris)
Now is official, MC team has a new house, and it has been built almost all by its own hands because house in nothing more than a projection of the self, and furnitures is the indirect shape of self cult.
