I edited my question to show what I actually did. Is it what you meant?

comment Using commands inside environment definitions
@Steven : I must admit I don't know much about \sc, and something clever is not really relevant to me because I'm asking for something but I want to be able to work with it a little bit, otherwise I don't understand what's going on and I can't adapt your ideas to my work. Codes that "read easily" are more appropriate answers than clever codes that are very intricate... I +1'ed your answer but I prefered Qrrbrbirlbel's.

Interesting package. I don't think I need something so refined to do a simple italic in an environment though, your package seems to be able to do a lot.

Thanks! Actually I chose the \begin{itshape}/\end{itshape} first and it work just fine... what exactly is wrong with it?

comment Creating a particular environment with a left-side rule
OH!!! Nevermind, it works. It's just because I was comparing the margins with the wrong things ; I had only written environment titles when I was testing environment, and all the titles were a little bit flushed to the right... gave me an illusion. It does work! Great thanks. (I'd be happy to accept your answer if you posted it.)

Should I modify the position of the left margin inside the environment to fix the problem? (I don't know how to do that by the way, that's why I ask.)

comment Creating a particular environment with a left-side rule
@Werner : I tried what the link said, and it compiled well, but the vertical rule is to the left of the left margin, and the text is where it would've been if I had done nothing particular. It doesn't show as in the image, although if for instance I would remove the "bottomline=false,...," part of the code, it would surround the whole text with a box.

comment Creating a particular environment with a left-side rule
@Werner It's a good start, but the problem is that instead of putting a line where the text should be and pushing the text to the right, it puts a line to the left of the text, which is not quite what I want to do. Do you think we could tweak it so that it works?

I never actually bothered about those packages ; I copy-pasted the list from one of my friends and then just let it there. Thanks for noticing this for me
