The torsional completion of gravity describing a twisted-curved spacetime filled with spinorial matter is presented from the mathematical and the physical perspective: spanning over various forms of extended theories of gravity, we will discuss the effects that the torsion-spin coupling has in each of them; a comparison between these models, and with the torsionless cases, is eventually outlined. Outlooks will be given.
