Francesco,
First do a safelight - coin test.  

I currently suspect your light sources.  If you do not have an enlarger
yet.....try exposing with just tungsten light 75 W (1 meter) and with your
safelight at least 2  meters from your paper.  Try using Grade 2 RC or FB
paper (not the MG variety).  It's OK to start with 5 sec.... 10 sec.......
20 sec.. etc. 

XTOL and HC-110 are both film developers.
