Easy takes Rw33 tailwind performance at CIA purely due to performance restrictions.
The route was an original GO route from STN, back than their 737-300's were mostly 22k engine rated. Easy decided last year that the mayority of the ex-GO fleet had to be permanently derated to 20k due to the high extra maintenance costs. (with the exception of a couple for bases like BRS and NCL)
With 22k you can get off Rw15 if the OAT isn't too high.
Also as others have suggested already...Rome ATC can sometimes be funny due to events at FCO, leave you at the ramp for no reason or they can't be bothered to tell you.
