Ah the amazing Mangano! Who single-handedly put the Italian film industry on the world scene with FOUR films around 1950 that did great business in London and NYC and encouraged Americans etc to appear in Italian films: Bitter Rice, Lupo, Musolino, and Anna.
But sorry, there is a major mistake here. The root cause of her desexualization is wrongly explained.
Silvana was born in April 1930, and became pregnant around April 1949, before she was even 20 years old (seemingly so in Bitter Rice, released in September 1949).
She married Dino on 17th Jul 1949 (shotgun wedding?) and gave birth just 6 months later (January 1950) when she was still only nineteen.
So when Bitter Rice came out and made her a major sex-symbol, she was on the point of nursing her first child, Veronica.
This caused a backlash among some Italian Catholic groups, and she resolved henceforth to wind it in a bit (though in all 4 films listed above she is pretty sexy) not least to take the heat off her kids.
she had four children: Veronica (1950), Raffaella (1952), Federico (1955) and Francesca (1961), the first 3 before she was 25. (In part this is why she never moved to Hollywood).
Note how all other major Italian film actresses of the time like Loren and Lollabrigida learned something: they played sexy roles in their 20s, and then had their babies in their 30s.
