PROVENANCE
Coriolan Neamțu was born in 1925 in Satu-Mare, in a family of Transylvanian intellectuals. He graduated from the Faculty of Law and the Academy of High Commercial and Industrial Studies in Bucharest. His particular interest in the game of bridge allowed him to overcome professional dissatisfactions, inherent in the communist regime, and dedicate himself passionately to bridge. He was an active promoter and organizer of the game of bridge in Romania, a tournament director and a bridge professor. Between 1970-1983 (a year in which bridge was officially banned in Romania) Coriolan Neamțu wrote and published the magazine "Expert Bridge", printed and distributed in hundreds of copies in a semi-clandestinity. As a professional journalist, having his own sections in domestic magazines and newspapers and many contributions to prestigious foreign publications, he wrote a series of bridge literature: "Competitive Bridge" (1973), "Entertaining Bridge" (1982), "Start Bridge" (1990), "Humoristic Bridge" (1991) and "Bridge Conventions" (1991). Also a great animal lover, in 1979 the author published a book entitled "The dog, man's friend", which was warmly received upon its release. In 2000, he wrote a book of maxims and thoughts named "Restitutio in absurdum". He was a member of the Jockey Club Romania, the International Association of Bridge Journalists, the IBPA world vice champion in bridge in 1992 in Salsomaggiore, and editor of the bridge section of the "Free Time" magazine, the weekly supplement of the newspaper "Free Romania".
