Why is it feminine?
Strada is feminine because it derives from Latin "strata" (feminine noun, literally meaning "paved way" or "street," from the past participle of "sternere," to spread or pave), and Italian preserved the feminine gender of its Latin source. The word entered Italian through the evolution of Vulgar Latin where feminine nouns ending in "-a" became a standard feminine ending, which "strada" retained.
