Why is it feminine?
Situazione is feminine because it derives from Latin "situatio," a noun with the -tiō ending that belonged to the third declension (not first declension). Latin nouns ending in -tiō were feminine, and this gender was preserved in Italian where the -zione suffix (the regular reflex of Latin -tiō) consistently produces feminine nouns.
