More City Hall Change: A Mayor Taking a Break

The mayor and his family will take a nearly 10-day tour of Italy this month, the longest out-of-town trip by a New York City mayor in more than 25 years.

The last mayor to routinely take extended trips to Europe was Edward I. Koch, who in the 1980s journeyed to Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Spain and other destinations during his second and third terms.
Mr. Giuliani rarely took a day off in his first years in office, although he indulged in some weekend jaunts to the Hamptons, trips that became more frequent as his final term neared its end.
