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.
