1. A device for loading rolls (R) in a machine (1), comprising a rotating member (6) for rotating around an axis (A) of rotation and having a plurality of radial elements (17A, 17B, 17C, 17D; 17E) angularly spaced with respect to each other, which define receiving seats (16) for rolls; at least one of said receiving seats (16) is configurable into at least two distinct configurations for receiving and handling rolls (R) of different radial dimensions; said plurality of radial elements comprising a plurality of pairs of radial elements (17A, 17B, 17C, 17D), wherein at least one of said radial elements (17A, 17B, 17C, 17D; 17E) is a replaceable radial element (17A) that is replaceable with an alternative radial element (17E), the replaceable radial element and the alternative radial element having different geometrical shapes, such that the at least two distinct configurations correspond to the replaceable radial element and the alternative radial element alternatively mounted on the rotating member (6) define respective receiving seats (16) of different angular openings for receiving and handling rolls of different sizes.
