Why is it feminine?

Camera is feminine in Italian because it derives from Latin *camera* (a vaulted room or chamber), which was feminine in gender, and Italian retained this grammatical gender from its Romance language evolution. The word ultimately traces back to Greek *kamara* (vault), and the feminine gender persisted through the phonetic and grammatical changes from Latin to modern Italian.
