Why is it feminine?

Sorgenti is feminine because it derives from the Latin noun "sorgēns" (from "surgere," meaning "to rise"). In Latin, this -ēns form functioned as both adjective and noun. When such Latin forms ending in -ēns entered Italian, they typically became feminine nouns with the -e ending. The feminine gender was preserved through this phonetic and morphological evolution from Latin to Italian.
