Why is it masculine?

Angoli is masculine because it derives from Latin "angulus," which was a masculine noun following the second declension (-us ending), and Italian preserved this grammatical gender when Romance languages evolved from Latin. The Latin word itself likely came from an Indo-European root meaning "narrow" or "tight," reflecting the tight corner that an angle represents.
