Why is it feminine?

Forme is feminine in Italian because it derives from Latin *forma* (shape, form), which was feminine in the first declension (not second declension) and retained its grammatical gender through Romance language evolution. The Latin feminine ending *-a* naturally became the standard feminine marker in Italian, so words inherited from Latin feminine *-a* stems remained feminine.
