A carousel for transportation of articles comprises: a rotating body (7) rotated by a motor around a main axis (X-X), a stationary cam (9, 10) extending around the main axis (X-X) and a plurality of transfer units (11) mounted on the rotating body (7) to rotate with the rotating body (7) around the main axis (X-X). Each transfer unit (11) comprises a transfer element having a radially external portion (20) configured to retain or release an article (2) to be transferred. The transfer element is pivoted on the rotating body (7) around a respective auxiliary axis (Y-Y) substantially radial with respect to the main axis (X-X) and is also coupled to the rotating body (7) to move along the auxiliary axis (Y-Y). The transfer element is operatively coupled to the stationary cam (9, 10) to rotate around the respective auxiliary axis (Y-Y) on command of the stationary cam (9, 10). A pair of auxiliary cams (25) are operatively coupled to the transfer element and integral with the rotating body (7) and auxiliary cam-followers are operatively interposed between the transfer element and the auxiliary cam (25) to move on the auxiliary cams (25) during the rotation of the transfer element around the respective auxiliary axis (- YY) and move the transfer element along the same auxiliary axis (Y-Y).Carrousel pour transport d'articles, comportant: un corps tournant (7) mis en rotation par un moteur autour d'un axe principal (X-X), une came fixe (9, 10) s'étendant autour de l'axe principal (X-X) et une pluralité d'unités (11) de transfert montées sur le corps tournant (7) pour tourner avec le corps tournant (7) autour de l'axe principal (X-X). Chaque unité (11) de transfert comporte un élément de transfert doté d'une partie radialement externe (20) configurée pour retenir ou libérer un article (2) à transférer. L'élément de transfert subit un pivotement sur le corps tournant (7) autour d'un axe auxiliaire (Y-Y) respectif sensiblement radial par rapport à l'axe principal (X-X) et est é
