Why is it masculine?

Risparmio is masculine because it derives from the Latin "respacium" (a compound of "re-" and "spacium," meaning space or room), which was a neuter noun that shifted to masculine gender in Italian; the word's meaning evolved from "sparing space/room" to "saving" or "savings," but it retained the masculine gender typical of Italian nouns ending in "-io" that come from Latin neuter or masculine origins.
