Why is it feminine?
Colazione is feminine because it derives from the Latin "colatio" (meaning a straining or filtering), which belongs to the Latin third declension nouns ending in "-tio." Third declension nouns in "-tio" were typically feminine in Latin, and this feminine gender was preserved through the phonetic evolution that transformed "colatio" into the Italian "colazione."
