Why is it masculine?
Sasso (stone) is masculine because it derives from Latin "saxum," which was a neuter noun, but Italian transformed most Latin neuter nouns into masculine forms, with "-um" endings typically becoming "-o" in masculine gender. This sound change combined with gender reassignment is a regular feature of Romance language evolution from Latin.
