Why is it feminine?
Pagnotta is feminine because it ends in "-otta," which is an inherently feminine diminutive suffix in Italian. While the word relates to bread (Latin "panis"), the feminine gender is directly determined by the feminine diminutive ending "-otta" rather than being preserved from Latin, since "panis" is masculine in Latin. The suffix "-otta" productively creates feminine nouns in Italian.
