Why is it feminine?

Battaglie is feminine because it derives from the Latin "battalia" (from "battuere," to beat), which was already feminine in Late Latin, following the -ia feminine ending pattern that became productive in Romance languages. This -ia ending consistently produced feminine nouns in Italian, making "battaglia" a regular development rather than an exception.
