This invention relates to a device for processing and applying pieces for making absorbent articles which comprises a supporting shaft (13) rotating about its own axis (13a) of rotation; a plurality of anvils (6) which rotate about the axis (13a) of rotation of the shaft (13); a cutting unit (10) which operates in conjunction with a respective contact surface (5) of an anvil (6) for defining a cutting station (11) for cutting a continuous web (4) for making absorbent articles in single pieces (2); a plurality of pads (7), each having a respective retaining surface (16) for a piece (2), which are moved about the axis (13a) of rotation of the shaft (13) for conveying a respective piece (2) from the cutting station (11) to a releasing station (27) for releasing it onto a receiving substrate (28); each pad (7) has a rotating movement about its own axis (7a) for varying the respective orientation from the cutting station (11), where the larger side of the pad (7) is parallel to the line offeed of the continuous we
