Abstract
The problem that will be discussed is that of quantum gravity; first of all we will explain which road we follow in this paper and, after that, we will see if it is possible to quantize general relativity in a real space-time. For that reasons we begin by considering the Einstein — Cartan theory [1] i.e. general relativity plus torsion, that from physical point of view means the introduction of spin in the theory of gravity.
