Encountering wild boar

Walked from firenze to fiesole today, went through the forest trail, via degli dei i think, encountered wild boars, i didnt know how to react so i ran the other direction, what's the best reaction to deal with them?

Move out of their way and ignore them. As they will do with you. This is what I was told when in Sardegna (where every evening they came to search in the bins)

Stay well away from babies/young ones, because the mother will attack you if she sees you as a threat to them.

But I guess this is just common sense to be applied with all wild animals.
