Why is it masculine?

Biglietto is masculine because it derives from the Latin "billeta," a diminutive form of "billa" (a written note or document), and Latin diminutives ending in "-etta" typically became masculine "-etto" nouns in Italian, following the masculine gender of the root noun. The -etto suffix, though often diminutive in function, retained the masculine gender convention of Italian nouns ending in -o.
