- A handling machine to re-arrange ceramic articles of a group of ceramic articles, which comprises a plurality of ceramic articles and a first support structure; said plurality of ceramic articles is placed on said first support structure, which is placed at an input station, according to a first given arrangement; the handling machine being configured to re-arrange said ceramic articles so as to obtain a modified group of ceramic articles, said modified group of ceramic articles comprising at least one sub-group of said plurality of ceramic articles and a second support structure, on which said at least one sub-group of said plurality of ceramic articles is placed according to a second given arrangement, which is different from the first given arrangement; and it comprises a first moving device, which is configured to pick up at least part of said plurality of ceramic articles from said first support structure and move said at least part of said plurality of ceramic articles from said input station to a splitting-up station; the handling machine being characterized in that it comprises: a support, which is arranged at said splitting-up station, is configured to support said at least part of said plurality of ceramic articles and comprises a base portion and a plurality of projections, which project from the base portion so as to define a plurality of recesses, each placed between said projections; and a second moving device, which is configured to transfer said at least one sub-group, which is at least a portion of said at least part of the plurality of ceramic articles, from the splitting-up station to an output station and to place said at least one sub-group on said second support structure, which is placed at the output station, according to said second given arrangement, so as to obtain said modified group of ceramic articles; said second moving device comprises a holding head, said holding head comprising at least two tines, and is configured to insert at least part of said tines into corresponding first recesses of said support so as to pick up, from said support, at least one ceramic article of said at least part of said plurality of ceramic articles. said plurality of ceramic articles is placed on said first support structure, which is placed at an input station, according to a first given arrangement; the handling machine being configured to re-arrange said ceramic articles so as to obtain a modified group of ceramic articles, said modified group of ceramic articles comprising at least one sub-group of said plurality of ceramic articles and a second support structure, on which said at least one sub-group of said plurality of ceramic articles is placed according to a second given arrangement, which is different from the first given arrangement; and it comprises a first moving device, which is configured to pick up at least part of said plurality of ceramic articles from said first support structure and move said at least part of said plurality of ceramic articles from said input station to a splitting-up station;
