    I do not know Italian, but I’d be surprised if a word ending on “a” were masculine. Usually, “a” indicates feminine, making the plural “e”

      Ancient Romans gobbled a lot of classical greek; the masculine -a nouns are usually greek origin (sistema, tema, problema), but they are the exception.

      Volta is a proper name, though, so there wouldn’t be any rules.
