LOS ANGELES—Eva Generosi admits that January 25th was anything but an ordinary Sunday.
Not when she woke up to once-in-a-lifetime news at her home in Spain.
The 23-year-old performer reveals she was shocked to find out she had won the 2026 AVN Award for Best New International Starlet at the 43rd annual ceremony the night before at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
“It was the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes, and at first I couldn’t understand whether it was real or just a dream!” Generosi says. “When I realized it was true, I was crying with joy!”
A native of Milan, Generosi began her adult content journey on OnlyFans a few weeks after turning 18 in November 2020.
Destined for stardom, it didn’t take long for the former Management Engineering student to attract attention as a masked creator for well over a year before revealing her identity in 2022. But it was when she made the leap to mainstream performing in 2023, joining the cast of Rocco Siffredi Hard Academy: Women Edition, that her career accelerated en route to AVN glory.
Generosi learned a lot from that experience on the set with the AVN Hall of Fame producer/director Siffredi, carrying that momentum into dozens of performances for several major studio brands.
Some of her most notable outings so far include: her first DP scene with Juan Lucho and Leo Santos for Private; her anal three-way with Marcello Bravo and Matthew Meier in “Feigned Job Offer” for Buttmuse/LittleCaprice-Dreams.com; her DP in Rocco’s Sex Podcast: Martina vs. Eva with Mannie Coco, Yves Morgan and Little Maly; and her debut for Vixen Media Group’s Tushy imprint with Denis Marti in September 2025.
Eva’s body of work also includes multiple scenes for SexLikeReal, BangBros, Bang!, Virtual Taboo, OnlyTarts, NubileFilms, Team Skeet, Tiny4K and Reality Kings, among others.
“I became one of the most popular content creators in Italy and across Europe, entering the top 0.1% of OnlyFans worldwide,” Generosi, who is represented by JulModels for bookings, explains. “As a result of that, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with the best directors and in top productions—and I am extremely grateful for it. I feel that this experience helped me grow and achieve success.
“And now this incredible international recognition of my achievements by industry professionals over the past year represents the next milestone in my career. The AVN Awards are one of the most respected honors for performers and creators such as myself, and I’m thrilled that my efforts have been acknowledged by the adult industry.
“I especially want to say thank you to the millions of my fans around the world for their love and support.”
Still an elite creator and now studying Business Management online in her spare time, Generosi also captured a pair of Doppio Senso Night Awards in May 2025 in Italy—for Female Star - Body of Work and Best DP Scene (for her first DP).
Now she says that winning AVN gold has inspired her to go higher.
“Last year I shot some successful movies of different kinds, and now I’m focusing on two things: attaching myself to large scale and prestigious projects, and also exploring new genres as I create content for my own platforms to express my own creative projects and personal interests,” Generosi adds.
“I’m also working on projects in the art world and in other fields as well, and I can’t wait to share them with everyone as they unfold.”
