The invention claimed is: 1. Unit for packaging and palletizing rolls of toilet paper and/or kitchen towel characterized in that it comprises a bagging and/or forming machine (20), suitable to sort several packages containing a plurality of rolls, called loose packages (11), into batches ( 12), and optionally to bag said sorted loose packages (11) in a bag (13) made of a plastic material, and a palletizing station or area (30) comprising at least one robot or manipulator ( 31) provided with grippers to handle batches (12) of sorted products composed of loose packages (11) or of a bag (13), wherein said batches (12) delivered from said bagging and/or forming machine (20) are conveyed to said palletizing station ( 30) with a predetermined stepped sequence and spaced from one another in at least one row on a conveyer element (21), wherein said at least one robot (31) and said bagging and/or forming machine ( 20) are electronically interconnected and are programmed respectively to sort and handle said products in batches (12), loose packages (11) or bags (13), of different forms and dimensions according to a sequence, continuously variable in a predetermined and programmable way, to form a layer (is) of a pallet (16) with different batches (12) of products adjacent to and engaged with one another which also comprises downstream of the at least one robot ( 31) to pick up the batches (12) of products, a further picking-up robot (32) which picks up said layer (15) and stacks it on a pallet base (17) or on other layers (15) to form a pallet (16). 2. Unit as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that said batches (12), loose packages (11) or bags (13), delivered from said bagging machine (20) are conveyed to said palletizing station (30) along two spaced rows, said palletizing station (30) comprising two robots (31), each suitable to pick up the batches (120 of products from one row. 3. Method for packaging and palletizing rolls of toilet paper and/or kitchen towel characterized in that it comprises the steps of feeding said rolls of toilet paper and/or kitchen towel packaged in multiple units, called loose packages (11), to a bagging and/or sorting machine (20), sorting said loose packages (11) into batches (12) or products with continuously variable forms and dimensions according to a predetermined and programmable sequence, feeding said batches (12) with a stepped sequence on a conveyor element (21) in at least one row to a palletizing station ( 30), picking up said batches (12) of products using a robot or manipulator (31) and forming a layer (15) of batches, adjacent to and engaged with one another wherein said layer (15) of batches of products is picked un by a further manipulator (32) and stacked on a pallet base (17) or on other layers (15) to form a pallet (16). 4. Method as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that in said bagging machine (20) said loose packages (11) sorted into batches of products are packaged in a bag (13).
