I'm having trouble importing image data which is encoded in an XML file. Following is the code of my class where I read the XML file and try to get the photo from the encoded data.

I haven't any errors but I always get an empty value on "artXML.photo"....
Can anyone point out what might be going wrong?
-(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string {
valoreLetto = [valoreLetto stringByAppendingString:string];
}
-(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName
namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName
{
if([elementName isEqualToString:@"photo"]) {
NSData *aData;
aData = [NSData dataWithBase64EncodedString:valoreLetto];
//valoreLetto contains a value like X'FFD8FFE000....', from the blob representation of an image
artXML.photo = [UIImage imageWithData:aData];
}
}
