Hi Mattia,
This is explained in the "-TAG" section of the ExifTool application documentation:
A special tag name of "All" may be used to indicate all meta
information. This is particularly useful when a group name is
specified to extract all information in a group (but beware that
unless the -a option is also used, some tags in the group may be
suppressed by same-named tags in other groups). The wildcard
characters "?" and "*" may be used in a tag name to match any
single character and zero or more characters respectively. These
may not be used in a group name, with the exception that a group
name of "*" (or "All") may be used to extract all instances of a
tag (as if -a was used). Note that arguments containing wildcards
must be quoted on the command line of most systems to prevent
shell globbing.
