Why is it masculine?
Ambiente is masculine because it derives from the Latin "ambiens" (present participle of "ambire," meaning "to go around"). In Latin, this participle was nominalized as a neuter noun (ambiens, -entis), following the third-declension pattern. Italian preserved the masculine gender that resulted from sound changes in the Romance language evolution, where many Latin neuter nouns became masculine in Italian.
