Why is it masculine?

Presenti is masculine in Italian because it derives from the Latin noun "praesens" (meaning "present" or "being before"). While Latin "praesens" was an adjective rather than a noun, when used substantively in Italian it became a masculine noun. Italian masculine nouns ending in "-e" typically derive from Latin masculine forms, and "presente" maintained this masculine gender through Romance language evolution.
