Why is it masculine?
Piatto is masculine because it derives from the Latin "plattus," an adjective meaning "flat" that was nominalized (used as a noun) in Vulgar Latin to refer to a flat dish or plate. When Latin adjectives were nominalized as masculine nouns, Italian retained the masculine gender. The word followed regular sound changes from Latin to Italian (plattus > piatto), preserving its masculine gender assignment.
