Some additional helpful information has been provided from my friend, Andrea Pollett, who resides in Rome:

31 = (via A. Doria) one of the largest open-air markets in Rome, if not the largest.  It is open in the morning (very few stalls are open in
        the afternoon).
32 = (Piazzale degli Eroi) large supermarket is located here.
33 = (via F. Caracciolo) small supermarket located here, but good enough for the essentials.
34 = (via S. Veniero) a medium-sized supermarket, very close to the Vatican Museums.
35 = (via S. Veniero) another medium-sized supermarket, even closer to the Vatican Museums.
36 = Medium-covered market which is open in the morning, but some stalls stay open in the afternoon as well.  Note that despite the
        whole block is occupied by the market's building, the address is still Piazza dell'Unita, as in the early 1900s this was an open space.
37 = (via dei Gracchi) another large/medium-sized supermarket located in the basement of the building.

Those markets located at 33 and 35 are what the locals call "hard discount stores", which keep the prices as low as possible.  The
brands are obscure in most cases, but the quality is good enough, if not even better than what the official brands offer.  But if you are
looking for a better selection or for high-quality brands and are ready to spend slightly more, visit the store located at 32.

Piazzale degli Eroi:  This is a crucial spot, and many bus lines refer to their stops nearby as the name of the square rather than the
name of the street.

Largo Trionfale:  This is another crucial spot for traffic and bus lines, although it looks more like a crossing than a square.  Furthermore,
via Trionfale starts from there (according to its moden name, as in old times, it started from beyond the Vatican).
