Why is it feminine?

Emozione is feminine because it derives from Latin "emotio" (-onis), which is a third declension noun. In Latin, nouns ending in -io with genitive -ionis were typically feminine. Italian preserved this feminine gender, as the productive suffix -ione (evolved from Latin -io/-ionis) consistently produces feminine nouns in modern Italian.
