Why is it masculine?
Tempo is masculine because it derives from Latin "tempus," which was a neuter noun in classical Latin. During the evolution from Vulgar Latin to Italian, the neuter gender class was eliminated, and most neuter nouns (including those ending in -us like tempus) were reassigned to the masculine gender, following the pattern of masculine -us nouns.
