Summer Internship, freshman year

Hi everyone, I'm a freshman at a target school in Italy (Bocconi), I applied ti some spring weeks but I figured out that it would be even better for next year recruiting to land a summer internship in my first year. I am willing to do almost anything finance related. Do you guys have any advice on some freshman-friendly banks or companies? Should I learn modeling or increase my skills instead of doing an internship? Am I too late to start looking for summer roles (of course even boutique firms and local)? Thank you for your advice!
