Hi everyone,
I'm a 21-yo Italian undergrad student, I'm looking for starting a MSc Finance next year (starting September 2022), I'm trying to figure out into which universities I am most likely to be accepted.
Yesterday I took my first GMAT and I got a 710(Q47, V41).
I think my GPA can be considered a 3.87/4.0 even though I know it's inaccurate to convert italian grades like that (my actual GPA is 29.10/30.00).
The problem in my opinion is the CV, as I did only 1 summer internship this summer in a small Swiss bank. If it can be worth anything four years ago I won an international coding competition organized by MIT and NASA.
My dream universities are LSE and Imperial college, but a more likely possibility is probably Bocconi.
What do you think about my profile? Do I have possibilites at LSE or Imperial College?

You actually have a good profile. Your GPA and GMAT are solid and will keep you in the mix.
When you say you only have one internship and a competition on your CV, is that all you have as far as non-academic achievements are concerned? Were/are you involved in any extracurricular activities or demonstrated any sort of community leadership? What about interesting life experiences? Without any of that, it might be tough to get into top schools. Internships are great but by no means required, so I'm less concerned about your perceived lack thereof.
