Why is it feminine?

Finestre is feminine because it derives from the Latin "fenestra," which was a feminine noun (following the first declension pattern of words ending in "-a"), and Italian retained the feminine gender of its Latin ancestors along with the similar ending. The word's gender is simply inherited from Latin rather than following a productive modern rule.
