Why is it feminine?
Case is feminine because it derives from Latin "casa" (hut, cottage), which was feminine in Latin, and Italian retained the gender of its Latin ancestor. The feminine gender likely persisted because it was the standard form through the Romance language evolution, though there's no particular semantic reason why dwellings would be gendered feminine across languages.
