Why is it masculine?

Bianchi is masculine because it derives from Latin "blanc-" (white). In Italian, masculine adjectives ending in -o descend from Latin masculine adjectives with nominative singular endings in -us. The -o ending in Italian represents the regular phonetic evolution of Latin -us in masculine adjectives, following the standard first/second declension pattern. Therefore, "bianco" is masculine by its Italian -o ending, which marks it as a masculine singular form.
