Why is it masculine?

Sentimenti is masculine because it derives from the Latin noun "sentimentum" (which was itself masculine), following the Italian pattern where Latin masculine nouns ending in -mentum typically become masculine nouns ending in -mento. This Latin suffix -mentum was consistently masculine and produced abstract nouns of action or state, a gender that Italian preserved.
