==In fiction and popular culture==
* Italian-American author [[John Fante]] featured [[brick hod]] carriers, bricklayers, and [[stonemason]]s prominently in several novels and short stories. This was due to the autobiographical nature of much of Fante's writing; his father, Nick, an Italian-born bricklayer descended from — at least in Fante's fictions — a long line of Italian artisan bricklayers and stonemasons. Fante also spent a significant portion of his youth apprenticed to his father.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |date=2015-04-09 |title=John Fante: A Real American Writer |url=https://theculturetrip.com/north-america/usa/california/articles/john-fante-a-real-american-writer |access-date=2023-12-17 |website=Culture Trip |language=en}}</ref>
