Why is it feminine?

Possibilità is feminine because it derives from Latin "possibilitas," which belonged to the third declension feminine category (words ending in "-itas"), and this Latin suffix became the productive Italian feminine ending "-ità" that marks abstract nouns. This pattern is regular in Italian, where nearly all nouns ending in "-ità" are feminine.
