Why is it masculine?

Vicini is masculine because it derives from Latin "vicinus," which was a masculine adjective in the second declension, and Italian preserved this grammatical gender through regular sound changes (Latin -us typically became Italian -o for masculine forms). The word originally meant "neighboring" or "nearby," related to the Latin root "vicus" (village or neighborhood).
