Why is it masculine?

Attori is masculine because it derives from the Latin "actor" (masculine noun), which comes from the verb "agere" (to act/do), and Latin's masculine gender was preserved in Italian for agent nouns ending in "-or/-tore." The feminine form "attrice" was later created by adding the feminine suffix "-trice" to accommodate female performers.
