Why is it masculine?

Francobolli is masculine because it combines "franco" (free/exempt) with "bollo" (stamp). The word "bollo" itself is masculine in Italian, derived from Latin "bulla" (seal), which followed the pattern of Latin neuter nouns shifting to masculine gender in Italian. The compound word inherits the masculine gender from its final component "bollo".
