Why is it masculine?

Diavoli is masculine because it derives from Latin "diabolus," which was itself borrowed from Greek "diábolos" (ὁ διάβολος)—both masculine nouns—and Italian inherited the masculine gender along with the word. The masculine gender stuck because it was established in the source languages and reinforced through centuries of religious and literary usage.
