Why is it feminine?

Salite is feminine because it derives from the Latin past participle "salita" (feminine form of "salitus"), from the verb "salire" (to jump/climb), and in Italian, feminine past participles used as nouns naturally retain feminine gender. This follows the standard Romance language pattern where Latin feminine forms became feminine nouns in Italian.
