Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Palazzo is masculine because it derives from Latin "palatium" (the imperial palace on Rome's Palatine Hill), which is a neuter noun in Latin. During the evolution from Latin to Italian, neuter nouns were typically reassigned to either masculine or feminine gender. "Palatium" was reanalyzed as masculine in Italian, likely due to the phonetic evolution of its -o ending, which became the standard masculine singular ending in Italian. Words ending in -o are overwhelmingly masculine in Italian, making this a regular and productive gender marker.
