Why is it masculine?
Sogno is masculine because it derives from Latin "somnum" (neuter), but Italian reassigned it to the masculine gender during the Romance language evolution, likely influenced by the pattern of masculine nouns ending in -o. The shift from neuter to masculine was common in Italian as the Latin neuter gender collapsed into the masculine category.
