Alessandro,

A few things to try:

1) set STATUS to DEFAULT if there is any chance you aren't explicitly
    turning this layer on.
2) The path to the file is right, right? It isn't by any chance called
    raster.jpg?
3) Is there a .jgw or .wld file associated with the raster.jpeg?  It should
    be in the same directory, and be called raster.jgw or raster.wld.  The
    safest worldfile name is raster.wld.
4) Turn on debugging (add the DEBUG ON line in your LAYER) and watch the
    debug output for messages about failing to open files, etc.

Best regards,
