Looking for the name of a movie that came out during or after the 1980's (I think). An employee of a publishing company in England is sent to Italy to find a successful author, who stopped writing after his wife died, and to convice him to start publishing again. The employee finds the author in a small Italian village and becomes entrenched in the village and with the people. A good character movie.

The Shadow Dancer (2005) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0376181/)
