NGO worker Alberto Trentini, 45, was arrested in Venezuela in November but no formal charges have been pressed against him, his family has said, urging Rome's government to maximise efforts for his release.

Italy has protested Venezuela's lack of information over the arrest of Italian NGO worker Alberto Trentini in Caracas. Despite being detained for over two months, no charges have been filed. Tensions rise as Italy criticizes Venezuela's political climate and previously managed to secure a journalist's release from Iran.

An Italian aid worker detained in Venezuela since November has had no contact with officials or family for two months, prompting his family to appeal to Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for intervention.

The family of Alberto Trentini, an Italian NGO worker who was arrested by Venezuelan authorities on November 15, on Tuesday urged the "Italian Government to put in place all possible and necessary diplomatic efforts" for his release.
