Chicago — Italy’s DSN (Doppio Senso Night) Awards, honoring both Italian and international excellence in adult entertainment, has announced its 2026 nominees.
Italy’s sexiest night, the annual DSN event is the creation of journalist and broadcast personality Massimo Bonera, host of Doppio Senso Night (Eng: Double Entendre Night), a live weekly television show airing on Italy’s Prima Free network since 2011.
The DSN Awards is divided, as per tradition, into International Awards and Italian Awards. The most prestigious adult awards ceremony in Italy will be held on Sunday, May 17th as part of the “Veneto Experience” event (Friday, May 15th, Saturday, May 16th, and Sunday, May 17th) at the fabulous New 1000 Lire in Preganziol (Treviso). Directions regarding the fan-voted categories will be available soon. The complete list of DSN’s 2026 nominations may be found here.
“The 2026 DSN Awards and Veneto Experience will be our biggest and grandest editions yet, featuring stars from around the world,” enthused Massimo Bonera. “Last year’s events went amazingly well, and it became clear to anyone with eyes that our awards show attracts the best of the adult community worldwide, not only because it’s a pretty place to rub elbows, but because our show’s nominees and winners make sense. We put a lot of time and dedication into their selection, which has enabled us to honor and celebrate the most notable stars and technicians before our colleagues in America have perhaps had the chance to fully apprehend their greatness. The post-DSN successes of our award winners is, in a way, our award.”
Among the notable 2026 nominees is 23-year old Italian breakout star Eva Generosi, who won Female Star – Body of Work and Best DP Scene at DSN last year (her first awards ever), and then went on to be named AVN Awards’ Best New International Starlet. This year the Milanese beauty has earned seven DSN nominations, including Best European PornStar, Best Scene — All Categories (for her TUSHY debut), Fan Favorite PornoStar, Iconic Star of the Year and PornoStar of the Year.
