Milan, 6 June (LaPresse) – ‘I was reassured by President Mattarella's handshake with the Venezuelan Minister of Education on 19 October last year and by the relaxed and constructive atmosphere in which the celebrations for the canonisation of the two Venezuelan saints were held in Rome.’ These words were spoken by Armanda Colusso, mother of aid worker Alberto Trentini, who has been detained in Venezuela for a year, during a press conference at Palazzo Marino, the seat of the Milan City Council, together with the family's lawyer, Alessandra Ballerini, and the president of Articolo 21, Giuseppe Giulietti. "I had hoped that this occasion would be the turning point for Alberto's release. In order to achieve the goal of Alberto's release, there had to be a cohesive and motivated group of people working towards the same result, but this was not the case,‘ continued the mother of the 46-year-old aid worker, adding that ’I am here after 365 days to express my indignation because I am certain that not everything that was necessary and necessary for Alberto's release has been done. I have been too patient and polite, but now my patience has run out and I am done." Also present in the room were Giulio Regeni's parents, Claudio and Paola, who gave the woman some typical Friulian sweets, and the parents of Andy Rocchelli, the Cesura agency photographer killed in Donbass in 2014.
