Default Italian VOR/DME Approach

Who can explain this approach to me - VOR + DME RWY 14 (LIEE)
http://www.vatita.net/download/plann...s/LIEE_ial.pdf

I flew as a passenger in an Alitalia MD80 the other day, and we apparently
flew this approach. As we made our left turn to final, I could see the PAPI
lights on RWY 14 - all four red obviously.

I'm assuming we're supposed to be visual throughout this procedure turn, but I
don't understand the reason for flying so low. 2100ft at 12DME?

Any ideas? Thanks.

G Faris
