A rotor for a hover-capable aircraft is described that comprises: a hub rotating about an axis and, in turn, comprising a plurality of blades, a mast connectable to a power unit of the aircraft and operatively connected to the hub to drive the hub in rotation about said axis, and an attenuating device to attenuate the transmission of vibrations from the mast to the aircraft parallel to said; the attenuating device, in turn, comprising a casing, a first mass free to oscillate parallel to said axis with respect to the casing and elastically connected to the casing, a second mass free to oscillate parallel to said axis, connection means adapted to make the first and second masses integrally movable along said axis when the angular speed of the mast assumes a first value, and actuator means activatable to decouple the first and second masses when the angular speed of the mast assumes a second value, different from the first value.
