Why is it feminine?
Famiglia is feminine because it derives from Latin "familia," which was feminine in gender, ultimately tracing back to the Latin root "famulus" (servant), though the semantic shift to mean a household or family unit occurred in Latin itself. The feminine grammatical gender persisted as the word evolved through Romance languages into Italian.
