Why is it masculine?

Fatti is masculine and can function as both a noun meaning "fact" and as the past participle of "fare" (to do/make). As a noun, it derives from the Latin past participle "factum." In Latin, "factum" was a neuter noun, but when inherited into Italian, neuter Latin nouns ending in -um were reinterpreted and became masculine nouns in the Romance languages. This semantic shift and gender reinterpretation explains why "fatto" is masculine in modern Italian.
