Why is it masculine?

Conto is masculine because it derives from Latin "computus" (a masculine noun meaning "reckoning" or "account"), which retained the masculine gender through the Romance language evolution. The word's association with accounting and enumeration in its Latin origins established its grammatical gender, which Italian preserved.
