Why is it masculine?
Giorno is masculine because it derives from the Latin "diurnum" (neuter), which evolved into the masculine Italian noun following a phonetic shift where Latin neuter words ending in "-um" typically became masculine in Romance languages. The shift from neuter to masculine gender was a common pattern in Italian's development from Latin, as the neuter gender largely collapsed into the masculine.
