Why is it masculine?
Calzini is masculine because it derives from the Italian noun "calza" (stocking/sock), which is feminine. However, the diminutive suffix "-ino" (rather than the feminine diminutive "-ina") creates a masculine noun. When a feminine noun takes the masculine diminutive suffix "-ino", the resulting word becomes masculine. This is a standard pattern in Italian where the choice of diminutive suffix determines the gender of the derived word.
