Why is it masculine?

Rimpianto is masculine because it derives from the Latin past participle "repentitus" or "repentus" (related to "repentire," meaning "to regret"), which inherited the masculine gender from Latin's -us ending that typically marked masculine nouns and adjectives. The word evolved through Italian as a noun meaning "regret" or "longing," retaining the masculine gender of its Latin ancestor.
