Why is it feminine?

Stanza is feminine in Italian because it derives from the Latin "stantia" (from "stare," to stand), which retained the feminine -a ending typical of first-declension Latin nouns that became feminine in Romance languages. The word originally referred to a "standing place" or "room" before acquiring its poetic meaning of a verse grouping.
