The  Clara--Prisma setup is a powerful tool for spectroscopic studies of neutron-rich nuclei produced in multi-nucleon transfer and deep-inelastic reactions. It combines the large acceptance spectrometer  Prisma with the \gamma -ray array Clara. Currently at  Lnl is being constructed the heavy-ion detector  Dante, based on Micro-Channel Plates, that will be installed at the  Clara--Prisma setup. Dante will open the possibility of measuring \gamma --\gamma Doppler-corrected coincidences for the events outside the acceptance of  Prisma. In this manuscript some results obtained with the Clara--Prisma setup will be discussed, in addition to the description and performance of the first prototype for the heavy-ion detector Dante.
