He didn't know anything about it before but it seemed interesting, so he began to speak with his friends.
Then he decided to contact the BEST Secretary to have more informations and to receive the application-form!
In Messina the time was ripe to start working, gathering informations and contacting the University that was happy to help them and support the request.
In the BEST map there was not a group in Sicily and it was the time to have one!
They were very enthusiast and in July of 2006 they applied as observers but the results were not good.
In the meanwhile the group was strengthened and its motivation didn't go down and they continued their BEST dream.
They contacted LBG Naples and two guys of them, Antonio Bellitto and Carmelo Marchese, were invited to attend its Autumn Course in September of 2007, where they have the possibility to feel the BEST spirit, learn about its organization and its practises.
In December of 2007 the group decided to apply again and this time there were good news: they were accepted as Observer!
In January of 2008 they started working and almost few days later they received the proposal to organize the first event: Spring Alpine Regional Meeting in April of 2008.
It was crazy but they accepted and hard times came...
The Regional Meeting was great thanks also to University and its Nurse LBG Naples. The participants enjoyed Sicily and its wonderful coffee-breaks.
The history continued with courses and other events that they attended and on November 9th of 2008 they became officially Baby Members of BEST at the Presidents' Meeting in Bucharest.
Now the group is growing and they have an office at University, great will to do and new ideas and projects are coming, especially their first Spring Course in May of 2009.
Special thanks for supporting this dream go to the Rector of University Francesco Tomasello, the University delegate Anna Murdaca and the Dean of Faculty of Engineering Signorino Galvagno.
