Why is it masculine?
Romanzi is masculine because it derives from Old French "roman," which ultimately comes from Latin "romanus" (meaning "Roman"). The word originally referred to narratives written in the vernacular Romance languages rather than Latin. In Italian, like other Romance languages, the masculine gender is typically marked by the -o ending, which "romanzo" exhibits. This masculine classification has persisted from its etymological roots through to its modern meaning of "novel."
