Why is it feminine?
Pere (pear) is feminine in Italian because it derives from Latin "pira," the plural form of the neuter noun "pirum." In the transition from Latin to Italian, neuter nouns were typically reanalyzed and absorbed into either masculine or feminine gender. The neuter plural ending "-a" in Latin was reinterpreted as a feminine singular ending in Italian, which is why "pera" is feminine. This pattern is common across Romance languages, where many former neuter nouns adopted feminine gender.
