Why is it masculine?

Confini is masculine in Italian because it derives from the Latin masculine noun "confinium" (boundary/border), which retained its masculine gender through the Romance language evolution. The -e ending doesn't determine gender in Italian; masculine nouns regularly end in -e (like "padre," "fiume," "confine"), so the gender comes from the Latin etymon, not the modern suffix.
