Why is it feminine?

Abilità is feminine because it derives from the Latin suffix "-abilitas" (from "habilis," meaning apt or skillful), which was inherently a feminine noun form in Latin, and Italian retained this gender when the word evolved. The "-ità" suffix in Italian, which comes directly from Latin "-itas," consistently produces feminine nouns.
