Why is it masculine?
Uomo (man) derives from Latin "homō," which was masculine in gender, and Italian inherited this grammatical classification along with the word itself during the Romance language evolution from Vulgar Latin. The masculine gender stuck because it was the original gender assignment in the Latin source word, though there's no particular semantic reason why "homō" was masculine rather than feminine.
