Hi schumaku
I've configured the interface of the firewall as "VLAN" (not bridge), in this way the firewall create a new network with is own DHCP Server and subnet.
I think that all pass throught the firewall, because is the firewall that "generate" the VLAN.
So, if the devices take the IP from the firewall, why the traffic not pass throught it also in "intra-VLAN"?

The short answer is that this isn't working as you expect because the devices are on the same subnet.
The client devices only send their traffic to the router (firewall in your case) when they are trying to reach a device on a different subnet. Otherwise, they send it directly to the mac address of the destination device. The switch will then forward that traffic directly to the destination.
