Why is it feminine?
Mandorla is feminine because it derives from Latin "amygdala" (itself from Greek "amygdalē"), and Latin feminine nouns ending in "-a" remained feminine when Italian evolved from Latin. The Italian word retained both the gender and the "-a" ending typical of first-declension feminine nouns. However, in Italian, "mandorla" also refers to the almond-shaped aureole or halo in religious art, which is a secondary but important meaning of the word.
