Why is it masculine?

Consiglio is masculine because it derives from the Latin "consilium," which was masculine in the second declension; Italian inherited the grammatical gender of its Latin source words, and words ending in "-lio" are typically masculine in Italian. The word's meaning—"counsel" or "council"—has remained largely unchanged since Roman times.
