Why is it feminine?

Regione is feminine because it derives from Latin "regio" (nominative), which belonged to the third declension. In Latin, "regio" was feminine, and Italian preserved this grammatical gender when the word evolved. The Latin root relates to "regere" (to rule), though the gender was inherent to the noun itself rather than determined by declension class patterns.
