Abstract
We derive the dynamical equations for a non-local gravity model in the Palatini formalism and we discuss some of the properties of this model. We have show that, in some specific case, the vacuum solutions of general relativity are also vacuum solutions of the non-local model, so we conclude that, at least in this case, the singularities of Einstein’s gravity are not removed.Keywords
