PODRIJETLO

Coriolan Neamțu was born in 1925, in Satu-Mare, in a family of Transylvanian intellectuals. He was a graduate of the Faculty of Law and the Academy of High Commercial and Industrial Studies in Bucharest. His particular interest for the game of bridge allowed him to overcome professional dissatisfactions, inherent to the communist regime, and to dedicate himself passionately to bridge. He was an active promoter and organizer of the bridge game in Romania, tournament division and bridge teacher. Coriolan Neamțu wrote and published between the years 1970-1983 (the year when bridge was officially banned in Romania) the magazine "Expert Bridge", printed and distributed in hundreds of copies in an almost clandestine manner. As a journalist by profession, having a column in national magazines and newspapers and numerous contributions to prestigious foreign magazines, he wrote a series of bridge literature: "Competitive Bridge" (1973), "Fun Bridge" (1982), "Start bridge" (1990), "Humoristic bridge" (1991) and "Bridge conventions" (1991). As a great animal lover, the author published in 1979 a book titled "The dog, man's friend", which at the time of its appearance was very successful. In 2000 he published a volume of maxims and thoughts "Restitutio in absurdum". He was a member of the Jockey Club Romania, the International Association of Bridge Journalists, vice-world champion of IBPA bridge in 1992 in Salsomaggiore and editor of the bridge column in the magazine "Free Time", a weekly supplement of the newspaper "'Free Romania".
