Why is it masculine?

Presidenti is masculine in Italian because it derives from the Latin "praesidens" (present participle of "praesidere," meaning "to preside"). In Latin, agent nouns with the -ens/-entis ending were typically masculine. Italian inherited this pattern with -ente endings, making "presidente" grammatically masculine. However, modern Italian usage is evolving: "la presidente" is increasingly accepted and used when referring to a woman president, reflecting contemporary gender-inclusive language practices rather than strict historical convention.
