PROVENANCE
Coriolan Neamțu was born in 1925, in Satu-Mare, Romania, 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 in the game of bridge enabled him to overcome the professional dissatisfactions inherent in 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. Coriolan Neamțu wrote and edited between 1970-1983 (when bridge was officially banned in Romania) the magazine ”Expert Bridge”, printed and distributed in hundreds of copies in quasi-clandestinity. A journalist by profession, with columns in magazines and newspapers from home and frequent contributions to prestigious magazines abroad, he wrote several works of bridge literature: ”Competitive Bridge” (1973), ”Fun Bridge” (1982), ”Start Bridge” (1990), ”Humorous Bridge” (1991) and ”Bridge Conventions” (1991). Also a great lover of animals, the author published a book entitled "The Dog, Man's Friend" in 1979, which was a great success at the time of its publication. 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, 1992 world runner-up in the IBPA bridge in Salsomaggiore and editor of the bridge column in the "Free Time" magazine, the weekly supplement of the "Free Romania" newspaper.
