Why is it feminine?

Mattina is feminine because it derives from the Latin noun "matutina" (originally used as a feminine noun meaning "morning" or "morning time"), which retained its feminine gender through Romance language evolution. The Latin feminine ending "-a" became the standard feminine marker in Italian, so words descended from Latin feminine forms typically maintain that gender.
