Nereo Condini Obituary
A reviewer and journalist for La Stampa (Italy) and the Village Voice, among others, a prize-winning poet, writer and translator, Ned's work reflects a humane understanding of life and a grateful appreciation of beauty and grace. Two of his major prizes are the American Pen Poggioli Prize for translation and the William Butler Yeats Society Prize for poetry.
With Marilyn, his wife of 48 years, he traveled extensively and once interviewed Salvatore Allende, former president of Chile. Ten years ago Ned and Marilyn moved to North Carolina, enjoying the beauty and hospitality of this land. Ned was a founding member of the Lost Playwrights of Western North Carolina.
His blessings go to the nurses, staff, and doctors of St. Joseph Hospital.
A memorial service will be held at a later date in Montvale, NJ, his home for many years.

I met Ned in 2011 through Lost Playwrites and was first impressed with his European gentility and expansive knowledge. Through that and other writing organizations and readings I was increasingly impressed by his talent at languages and the use of words. I also appreciated his ironic, sometimes biting, humor. He was one of the most accomplished literary talents, if not the most, in the Hendersonville area.In all, he
was a genuinely nice person and a unique soul who will be greatly missed.
