Why is it feminine?
Aquila is feminine in Italian because it inherited the feminine grammatical gender from Latin *aquila*, which was feminine despite the -a ending not being a reliable gender indicator in Latin (unlike in Romance languages where -a typically signals feminine nouns). The Latin feminine gender likely stemmed from the word's Indo-European roots and was maintained through the evolution into Italian.
