The First Bronze Age (end III - first half II millennio), represented by the eponymy settlements of Capo Graziano from the island of Filicudi, is documented, further in Room XII, by materials coming from the excavations conducted along the southern edge of Piano del Porto (Fig.8), whose shapes reconnect with prototypes of the Protoelladico III and of the Initial Mesoelladico Iniziale of continental Greece, as well as materials that that constitute the grave goods of some burials laid between natural gorges along the Montagnola of Capo Graziano (Fig.9).
Room XIII displays materials that, though belonging to the culture of Capo Graziano, come from the settlement, dating back to the first half of the II millennium (perhaps between XIX and XVIII century B.C.), on the summit of Capo Graziano of Filicudi, that is stamnoi, orci, jugs, carinated bowls, little clay hooks “anchor shaped”, a mould for casting bronze (Fig.10), as well as ceramics of Aegean importation. There are also materials of the same culture, coming from the island of Panarea (Punta di PeppaMaria) (Fig.11) and from the island of Alicudi (Fucile area) (Fig.12).

The same room reserves an initial area for the exhibition of local ceramics, decorated with incisions, and of ceramics imported from the coast of the Italian peninsula, which come from the island of Stromboli (area behind the church of San Vincenzo), representative of the preceding culture of Capo Graziano (Fig.15).
Room XV, displays materials which come from the settlement of the Portella (Fig.16), among which stand out two necklaces of hard rock cornelian) and of a glass mix (Fig.17), and from the Serro dei Cianfi (Fig.18) of Salina, as well as of Capo Milazzese of Panarea, with materials relating to basins with a high tubular pedestal, soup-tureens, bottles, orci, baking-tin, fruit bowl, supports for jars, fuseruole, corni apotropaici (Fig.19), a sandstone mould for wide striped bands (Fig.20), as well as ceramics of mesoappeniniche and Aegean importation (Fig.21). .
