Why is it masculine?

Lupi is masculine because it descends from Latin "lupus," which was grammatically masculine in the second declension (nominative singular -us ending), a gender that was preserved when Latin evolved into Italian. The -o ending in Italian masculine nouns is a direct phonetic evolution of the Latin -us termination.
