Why is it masculine?

Sforzi is masculine because it derives from the Latin "exfortium," which followed the pattern of Latin second-declension masculine nouns. In Italian, nouns ending in -o typically inherit masculine gender from their Latin masculine ancestors. The word underwent regular phonetic changes from Latin to Italian (ex- > s-, -tium > -zo), retaining the masculine gender throughout this evolution.
