Why is it feminine?

Paludi is feminine because it derives from Latin "palus" (swamp), a third-declension noun that was feminine in Latin. In Italian, the nominative singular form "palus" evolved into "palude" (with the -e ending characteristic of Italian feminine nouns), preserving the feminine gender from Latin. This represents the regular development of Latin third-declension feminine nouns into Italian, not an exception.
