PROVENANCE
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 special concern for 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 game of bridge in Romania, a tournament director, and a bridge teacher. Between 1970-1983 (a year when bridge was officially banned in Romania), Neamțu wrote and edited the magazine "Expert Bridge", printed and distributed in hundreds of copies quasi-clandestinely. As a professional journalist, with columns in local magazines and newspapers, and regular contributions to prestigious foreign magazines, he wrote a series of bridge literature: "Competitive Bridge" (1973), "Fun Bridge" (1982), "Start Bridge" (1990), "Humorous Bridge" (1991) and "Bridge Conventions" (1991). As a great animal lover, the author published a book in 1979 titled "The Dog, Man's Friend", which enjoyed great success at the time of its release. In 2000 he published a volume of maxims and sayings "Restitutio in absurdum". He was a member of the Jockey Club Romania, of the International Association of Bridge Journalists, vice world champion of the IBPA in 1992 at Salsomaggiore, and editor of the bridge column in the magazine "Free Time", the weekly supplement of the newspaper "Free Romania".
