Why is it masculine?

Miracolo is masculine because it derives from Latin "miraculum" (neuter noun), which became masculine when adopted into Italian—a common pattern where Latin neuter nouns shifted to masculine gender in Romance languages. The word comes from the Latin verb "mirari" (to wonder at), and Italian inherited the masculine form that developed during the language's evolution from Vulgar Latin.
