Why is it feminine?
Volta is feminine because it derives from Latin "volta," the feminine past participle of "volvere" (to turn). Latin past participles used as nouns inherited the gender of their participial form, and Italian preserved this feminine gender when the word evolved into its modern form meaning "time" or "occurrence" (as in "una volta" = "once").
