Why is it masculine?

Razzi (rocket) is masculine because it derives from the Italian word "razzo" meaning "rod" or "stick," which comes from Latin "radius" (a masculine noun meaning ray or rod), and Italian nouns descended from masculine Latin words typically retain that gender. The metaphorical extension from a stick-like object to a rocket preserved the original masculine gender.
