Why is it feminine?

Somiglianze is feminine because it derives from the Latin noun "similitudinem" (accusative of "similitudo"), which was a feminine noun, and Italian inherited the feminine gender along with the suffix "-anza" (from Latin "-antia"), a productive feminine ending used for abstract nouns. This gender was preserved through regular sound changes and morphological evolution from Latin to Italian.
