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 particular concern for the game of bridge allowed him to overcome professional dissatisfaction, inherent in the communist regime, and to devote himself passionately to bridge. He was an active promoter and organizer of the game of bridge in Romania, tournament director, and bridge teacher. Coriolan Neamțu wrote and edited between 1970-1983 (the year when bridge was officially banned in Romania) the magazine "Expert Bridge", printed and distributed in hundreds of copies in a quasi-underground manner. A professional journalist, with columns in magazines and newspapers from the country and many contributions to prestigious foreign magazines, he wrote a set of bridge literature works: "Competitive Bridge" (1973), "Fun Bridge" (1982), "Start Bridge" (1990), "Humorous Bridge" (1991) and "Bridge Conventions" (1991). Being also a great animal lover, the author published in 1979 a book entitled "Dog, Man's Friend", which was a great success at the time of its release. In 2000, he published a volume of maxims and thoughts "Restitutio in absurdum". He was a member of the Romanian Jockey Club, the International Association of Bridge Journalists, the world vice-champion of IBPA Bridge in 1992 in Salsomaggiore, and the editor of the bridge column in the magazine "Free Time", the weekly supplement of the newspaper "Free Romania".
