Why is it masculine?

Problemi is masculine in Italian because it comes from the Latin "problema" (derived from Greek "próblēma"), which was already masculine in Latin, and Italian generally preserves the gender of Latin nouns ending in -a that came from Greek sources. This is an exception to the typical rule that Italian -a nouns are feminine, a pattern shared with other Greek-origin words like "sistema" and "programma."
