Claim:
A multifunctional group adapted to be associated with a rough mold of a glass items forming machine, the group comprising: a common support head; first handling means adapted to move said common support head along a first handling axis; second handling means adapted to rotate said common support head about a second handling axis that is perpendicular to the first handling axis; a closing member carried by said common support head adapted to close a top opening of said rough mold; and at least a further operative member also carried by said common support head including a funnel-shaped guiding member, for guiding at least one glass drop into said rough mold; a blowing member for blowing a pressurised airflow into said rough mold and surface treatment members for treating an internal surface of the rough mold, wherein the common support head is bounded laterally by a plurality of faces, and wherein the closing member, the funnel-shaped guiding member, the blowing member, and surface treatment members each project radially from one of the plurality of faces of the common support head so that each of the closing member, the funnel-shaped guiding member, the blowing member, and the surface treatment members extend perpendicular to the second handling axis from the common support head.
