History

Football is on the foundation of the 'Vila Isabel', as there was in the neighborhood in 1945, a block known as Red and White. The removal of some components has resulted in the creation of a football team with the colors blue and white, later transformed into a new carnival. Antonio Fernandes da Silveira, the "China", registered the company in the União Geral das Escolas de Samba, thus on April 4 of 1946, the school opened its doors.

The home of "China", the first president of the school, served until 1958 as headquarters of the school. The tests were performed in Field Andaraí. The first plot of the Village,From Slave to Queenwas attended by only 100 components in the Onze Square: 27 percussionists, 13 Bahia and another 50 people. Paulo Brazão, one of the founders of the school, was one of the biggest winners of the theme song Vila Isabel in 1960, the school won first place in Group 3, with the plot Poet of the Slaves.

One of the best known figures of the school is, undoubtedly, Martinho da Vila. His entry into the guild was in 1965: it was part of the Samba School Learners of Boca do Mato and it was off to the Empire Serrano, when an invitation to join the wing of the Vila Isabel composers.
