Why is it feminine?

Coperte is feminine because it derives from the Latin feminine noun "cooperta" (past participle of "cooperire," meaning to cover), which retained its feminine gender through the Romance languages. Latin past participles used as nouns typically inherited the gender of their Latin forms, and feminine past participles ending in -a naturally evolved into Italian feminine nouns.
