Why is it feminine?

Corna (horn) is masculine because it derives from Latin "cornu," a neuter noun. In Italian, most Latin neuter nouns were reanalyzed and became masculine, particularly those ending in -u, -o, or -e. The word "corno" follows this pattern of neuter-to-masculine gender shift that occurred during the development of Romance languages from Latin.
