We extend Dirac's approach about the quantization of the electric charge to the case of gravitational configurations. The spacetime curvature is used to define a phase-like object which allows us to extract information about the behavior of the corresponding spacetime. We show that all spacetimes that satisfy certain simple symmetry condition and for which the Petrov type is the same whitin a specific region, quantization conditions can be derived that impose constraints on the possible values of the parameters entering the respective metrics. As a general result we obtain that for the gravitational configurations described by those metrics, the behavior under rotations can be only of bosonic or fermionic nature.
