October 2, 1721 to 1761 was master of Santa Margherita Filangeri Alexander II, Prince of Cutò which, according to historian Baron Bartholomew Giacone was provided with an uncommon intelligence and strong will, excelling in literature and fine arts and its many monumental works were in constant evidence of its magnificence. They are: the wonderful palace of Via Maqueda Cutò in Palermo, the advanced part of the building Cutò of Santa Margherita, with the creation of what became the first court, theater, picture gallery with two overlapping rows of pictures representing the Filangeri from 1080 1800, the palace, the palace of Judges and Jurors (town hall and then Circle of civilians), the hunting lodge of Venaria and finally the beautiful garden with fountains gushing from the water, adorned with statues, greenhouses and lush vegetation and rare.
On July 27, 1735 obtained the investiture of the barony of his son Jerome Filangeri III, Prince of Cutò. Then near the church of the Purgatory flowed a copious spring where the water flowed in a stream near the Palazzo Cutò to go to feed the various fountains and water the garden. Since this stream made the swampy terrain, Prince Girolamo Filangeri III, with a train tunnel that water from one party to the bevaio channel and the other, passing beneath the foundations of the building Cutò towards the garden so that he could easily be irrigated, to the fountains to gush to two and a bevaio called "cannoli," which went to the residual water tanks for irrigation of the garden no longer exists great . After the earthquake of 1968, following the construction of some apartments, the tunnel was stopped and the waters were unable to reach the garden, and the outlet of the bevaio cannoli, losing themselves in the middle of the ground. The damage was enormous, both for its garden for the people who draw water for many uses. Salvatore Scuderi
