Why is it feminine?
Collina is feminine because it ends in "-a", which is the standard feminine singular ending in Italian. While it does derive from Latin "collis" (hill, third declension masculine), the word underwent a gender change during the Romance language evolution. The "-ina" suffix is not a diminutive here but rather part of the base form; the feminine ending "-a" replaced the Latin masculine form, making "collina" feminine in modern Italian.
