Pirelli has announced the tyre compounds that they will be bringing to the Italian Grand Prix this September. The marque will ship its medium, soft and super soft compounds, which matches the selection of the 2016 Italian GP.
The selection of these three compounds has been common this season, as we have already seen this combination in China, Bahrain and Azerbaijan, while they will also be brought to the Grands Prix in Britain, Hungary, Malaysia and Japan.
Pirelli has also nominated the super soft compound as the tyre of use for those who make it into the final part of qualifying. Teams are free to choose the remaining 10 sets of tyres, with one of the soft or super soft sets mandatory for the race (permitting it stays dry).

Any reason why they didn't go ultra soft? The track surface?

maybe the 2-3 high-speed corners are a little bit too much for ultra-soft?!
