Why is it masculine?

Barili is masculine. While it does derive from Latin and retain masculine gender, the rule's claim about "-ile" endings maintaining masculine gender is misleading. In Italian, most nouns ending in "-ile" are actually masculine regardless of their Latin origin, but this is a gender pattern of the "-ile" suffix in Italian rather than evidence of gender retention from Latin. The etymology from Germanic sources via Latin is plausible, but the explanation conflates suffix gender patterns with gender retention.
